The only reason I can figure is that I usually look forward to the upcoming weekend but now weekends and weekdays are all one big blur of the same nothingness. <br />I ordered some cloth masks on Etsy. They aren't medically approved but I am going to put some filters in them and hope for the best. In listening to the task force speak today, it seems that we are going to wind up with a stockpile of extra ventilators, masks which I hope we can keep in preparation for the next pandemic. Praying something can be done about the wet markets for many reasons.onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-29793617107760819872020-04-05T18:05:03.844-04:002020-04-05T18:05:03.844-04:00I hope tomorrow is better for you.

So strange.<br /><br />I have made some of the facemasks and have fabric cut for two more. I plan on getting those done early tomorrow.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-32706329750512409852020-04-05T12:54:52.086-04:002020-04-05T12:54:52.086-04:00I agree and also think the lost opportunity to hav...I agree and also think the lost opportunity to have started preparing for this the minute is broke out in China is a travesty.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-40239265639021692632020-04-05T11:41:28.050-04:002020-04-05T11:41:28.050-04:00The homemade masks might or might not do a lot to ...The homemade masks might or might not do a lot to prevent the spread of the virus BUT the do remind people to social distance when you're at the grocery store, so for that reason alone I think they are a good idea.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-9051151061041644352020-04-05T10:36:20.041-04:002020-04-05T10:36:20.041-04:00Bouncing back and forth between the different stag...Bouncing back and forth between the different stages of grief or experiencing them all at once is very normal. I find that simply noting how one feels and that this too will pass (at least most of the time but sometimes help is needed) is what works for me. We need the rain but not looking forward to it either.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-34493300513231118622020-04-05T10:30:42.973-04:002020-04-05T10:30:42.973-04:00I have found that the depression comes and goes. I...I have found that the depression comes and goes. I had two terribly down days in a row, then felt the depression lift, finally, thankfully. It is a horrible feeling when in it's midst- lethargy and sadness.<br /><br />I am currently focused on creating a plan for each day. The first day I did so was yesterday, and I actually ran out of time before completing my list. That is the first time that has happened since we entered into Shelter In Place!<br /><br />Admit I'm a bit down about being 'laid off' from our volunteer positions at a large food bank. Delivery drops only, no physical contact, and it provided a sense of purpose during this awful time. Alas, they established an age range cut off for volunteers of 55 years of age, and I just missed it. 😕<br /><br />Looking at five or so days in a row of upcoming rain here in California is going to be yet another new challenge. Hang in there, Juhli, at least we are all in this together.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248579159497266955noreply@blogger.com
