Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I Finished and delivered the Christmas present, which you will see in FOs. I have not knit or crafted much. I have been having some Left shoulder pain, which has stifled my knitting and crocheting.
I spent last weekend with my sister and I have some stash to show.
Work is up and down, but I will be doing some traveling between buildings next week, which is very promising. NO covid in my building at this time, but will be traveling to building with covid, but not treating the covid patients. 
We had a death in Teds family from covid over the last 2 weeks. Teds Brother died last tuesday from Covid and wife is at home with covid.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement  Sorry it has been another 3 week. I have had low MOJO, and have also been distracted, and tired from working real hrs over the last 3 week, not a full 40, but more then I have worked since the Rona. 
I have a few finished objects. I also started The Christmas project and it is about 3/4 done, but I can't show it. 
I continue to test negative for the Rona. we are being test 2 x per week since the surge. The facility I work at is free of the outbreak for now, all cases except one has survives.
