A quart of hand picked dewberries: I went down the road by myself and near to where I live to handpick some dewberries. I made a dewberry pie. Being cooped up in the house was makingme feel restless an irritated so I safely got outdoors and enjoyed myself.
When in doubt....go fishing: Since I am not able to really do a lot physically, this time has been a good time to do things around the house and care for the yard. I can't do a lot of the work but since my husband and kids are home due to cut work hours, we have set up a family plan to help each other and get more done around the house. This is a picture of our yard. I may only be able to sit in a chair and watch but I can hang out and spend time with the people I love.
Intern!: My coworkers have seen plenty of my cat on video meetings, and I jokingly refer to him as my intern. He also likes to creep around my workspace, tryingto make himself more helpful. Today he discovered he can peek at me from under my laptop stand. My cat has been a huge help to me in dealing withquarantine, keeping me entertained, reminding me that it's good to take breaks to walk around the kitchen.
