It's been a long time since I journalled.

So, uh, it's been a while. Since December 31, 2019, apparently. What can I say? Worldwide pandemics are EXHAUSTING! I'm okay. I lost an elderly relative to this fucking virus in early April, which made it suddenly seem very real. I suppose it was probably a blessing in disguise. Quite WELL-disguised. My uncle had dementia and was living in a care

Howdy! I'm glad to hear that your work situation is okay, for values of working room home feel weird. I'm clawing my way past weeks of operating on a near constant crisis footing.

The virus hasn't hit any in our family and the local health unit hasn't had a positive case since mid=May. We're being careful and I spend my weekends sewing masks for friends and family.

Howdy back. Yeah, working from home all the time definitely feels hella weird, but it beats the alternative, I guess! I'm sorry you've been operating on a constant crisis footing. That's so TIRING!

Yay for homemade masks. I don't sew, so I've been ordering the commercial ones and just throwing them in the laundry. I have quite the collection by now. Plus, a mask from Etsy I couldn't resist is on its way via Canada Post.

It has a woodcut-style image of one of those medieval plague doctors, and the slogan, "Party like it's 1347". I howled with laughter and knew I had to buy one. It's either laugh or cry, right?
