stuck in useless and annoying video conferences all day? Why not switch off your camera and make progress on those long overdue sewing projects!

I was ably to buy hand soap off Amazon because they hadn't yet run out of the bad kinds of smells. "I need soap to keep my family alive through this life threatening pandemic... Oh wait it's basil scented? I'd rather die."

i went out and got my essential exercise at a park today! with "fear of outside" so strong, its easy to forget that the world is still a beautiful place. just avoid the part of it that's got human beings. :-/
