I'm supposed to be in Gettysburg filming my super awesome cocovid video right now...we had made it to the KOP service station when I pulled off so Rob could grab a coffee and went to tell Dave our ETA. He's on day 2 of congestion after going camping with his family for a week....fuck....I went through a range of "pretend I didn't see this and don't tell Rob."..."blame it on Rob's germ based OCD"....."you know the right thing to do is not to go because you work with medically fragile kids AND your husband has OCD and you owe it to him to not cause him panic attacks"...2020, you can't even let me have one nice thing. :-( Told Dave we just couldn't swing it and turned around. Consoled myself with Sonic for lunch and were home before we would have made it to Gettysburg. Then we immediately UNPACKED a very full car, that I hat just magically packed 2 hours ago. Pulled curlers out of my hair in the sonic parking lot so I'd look like less of a mad woman. Came home and poked the internet sadly and took a nap.
Now I'm stuck with "what the hell do I do for a Cocovid video?" I could do nothing I suppose, but I'm on the schedule and that seems like shitty of me. Rob's tossed me several hilarious video ideas, but they're more of "Robin's channel" videos and not exactly what I think fits Cocovid as I want it to be instructional? So far the only ideas I have and sort of like but don't love are 1. turning my most popular blog entry "how to make 18th century mitts" into a video. But does anyone still DO 18th century? 2. I bought that gap blouse planning to do a video on how to make it a little more historically accurate (put in a CB closure, collar stays, either narrow the sleeves or shorten them unsure which. again don't LOVE any of those like I LOVED our photography video...3. I could do a video about my new 1890s wrapper how it isn't a wash dress and what did women wear to do work in the 19th century on a farm, but I'd have to do a lot more research so far all I've figured out is that "wash dress" is much more a "ready to wear" equivalent and not really a "get dirty on the farm chores" idea and I can't find any references pre 1900...*sigh*
