Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement No new stash. 
If you dont follow me in all the social medias, my covid test was a false positive. Thank you God. I am working daily with active Covid pt. I am taking all the necessary precautions and being safe. So thankful for the privilege to care for them, and watching them recover successfully. God is Good, and I am not afraid. I am more afraid of what is going on in our world today. Please do your own research, and Vote your convictions.
I did some knitting, Crocheting and finishing the last 2 weeks.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement I did some stashing again.
I also finished 2 thing, not the big ones. 
Still not a lot of work. I worked 3 short days last week, and this week is not much better. I have been treating active cases of covid, to keep them moving if possible. We are well protected with all the PPEs, but prayer coverage is also much appreciated as well. 
MOJO has been up and down. 
I have been dreaming of starting other sweaters, but making myself wait until other sweater done.

Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement  Yes there is new stash. I caught a sale on Ice and did little Retail Therapy yesterday. 
Work is slow again, with no travel because a nurse aide and therapist tested positive for covid. Now I am only getting 3 to 4 hours a day. so I shouldn't have went yarn shopping, but I felt the need to get something new and look at yarn. 
I finished a few new things, and instead of pulling out old WIPs, i started some new crochet projects.
