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 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.
