Story of the Week and Stash Enhancement Its been 3 weeks since my last Podcast, and you won't be able to tell it by my FOs. I got some stash, but it is for a secret Christmas project, so I won't be able to show it for a while. 
  Work is still very low for me and have only worked 4 half days a week for the last 2 weeks. My tests are continuing in the negative, and i am activly working with or on same hall of active Covid19 cases. And the cases are not severe cases.

  I was a proud American and got up early and stood in line to cast my vote for the first time in 40 years. I feel very disheartened with the prospect of voter fraud and mainstream media pushing a false narrative. I want to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my vote mattered, and that if there was fraud, it is uncovered and punished to the fullest extent. If its allowed to go on we will never again have a fair and honest election. It doesn't matter if you liked the way the election turned out or not, we should want to make sure it was legal and fair.

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  I got a little stash of Ice yarn.
3 finished crochet projects. 
Work is slow with very low work hours, and not allowed to travel to other buildings, because we have active cases of covid in building. 
Ted and I are doing well. No covid here but continued prayers for health would be much appreciated.  Also I have some stuff in my etsy store if you want to support me, and I plan to put some Handspun yarn on this weekend.

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.
