I mean, I guess if we're gonna be stuck in plague times, it's good that the time is zipping by, but it feels kinda like we didn't even get a summer this year. The spring had so much promise and yet, here we are.

People are still being kinda dumb around here - today as I picked up my Starbucks, there was an elderly gentleman inside, no mask, reading the paper, and COUGHING.

DUDE.

Yeah, I don't feel at all bad about the fact that I am double masking these days. JFC.

At least I have my stitching mojo back for the fall. Getting the stitching stand felt like such an indulgent purchase, but it makes the work SO much easier and I've made more progress in the past week than I have in the past year and a half on the current project. I may actually get some of the Christmas ornaments I ordered last March done for this Christmas!

Work In Progress Cross Stitch of the Governors Palace in Williamsburg VA - the main building, grass, sky, and little sheep are stitched in
Might be done this weekend!

Good tools really can make a difference. And a little less doomscrolling is never a bad thing.

All my errands for the day are already run, and the rest of the day is just going to be stitching, working on a design for a special ornament, and binge watching murder shows on BritBox. I think I am actually a 68 year old British grandmother.

It's going to be a lovely day.
