Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement No New Stash. I have been experiencing so Low MOJO over the last week, but I did get some knitting in before the blahs happened. NO FOs however.
Things are steady at work and home. No virus in either location, Thank you God. 
Some crazy moments at work. Last Wednesday after working for 2 hrs was told to go home because i was in a building the week before that a worker tested positive for covid 19. Then after being stressed and scared for a moment, got a text to come back, all was okay, just have to wear n95 mask which was supplied by facility. I was so overwhelmed I choose to stay home for rest of day. After I thought about it , I realized I could be just as exposed to virus by going to grocery store. 
All in all, all is well. 

FOs nothing

Red Along Prize Draw


Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement No new stash. I did some finishing, and since I finish a few things I cast on a new sweater. I think I have one more sweater in me for the season. It will be finished and put away for the fall and winter. I will knit it and think of happier times to come. 
I continue to work. the Facilities I work in are free of the Covid19 so far. 
I work, go to grocery, or pharmacy and home. That is all. Will be so glad when we get the curve flattened and going down.
