I never used one for my ID at work; I clipped it to a lapel. We are working in the backyard as much as the weather allows. I have to lock the doors because my cat figured out how to unlatch them and let himself out. So....I put my house key on.....a lanyard. While we were taking a break yesterday, it occurred to me, here we are, dressed like cruise people (at least in that respect). Love this! Plus a cat that can open shut doors. My cats better not get that smart😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go around 8:30-9:00 and be ok. One of my girlfriend's made a bunch of masks and mailed me one so I don't have to worry about getting one of my scarves to work. This is a longtime friend who loves to sew....(opposite of me....I can sew a button, she can make the entire outfit). Anyway, she owns 5--yes, 5 sewing machines! Anyway, I have been eating a lot of strawberries and blueberries...…..need to get a couple of containers of them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work friend who sews dropped off enough masks for our family, enough for both daughters & SIL's & one for my Mom... who is still working & going out like nothing is happening. Today she has conceded that she will pick up a mask from us ( I"ll hang in in a bag & talk to her from the porch) It's rained nonstop here for the last week, but is supposed to clear up for the weekend ;) stay safe & sane through this everyone!

Rare Lois R Posted April 10, 2020 #133 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Good morning....just wanted to throw this out there. A company in California called "Sanctuary" makes clothing and they are making masks....google them. They make a pack of 5 for 28.00 and part of the profits go to local charities. I decided to order a pack. They haven't arrived yet but just thought maybe it would give some of us a pause for the cause 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted April 10, 2020 #135 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I went to the grocery store this morning and there were plenty of folks wearing masks with some not wearing them as well. For you gals who live near a PUBLIX...that is where I shop. They have put up those shields in front of the cashiers and also put lines down on the floor so you are standing 6 feet apart at the check out lines.

Part of me wants to laugh at this at part of me wants to cry :) probably like you're feeling. I hope you're getting out and walking around a bit... do you have a car? Yesterday the rain never stopped, so I just drove around for a bit to feel like I was getting out... otherwise I'm trying to stick to a routine and schedule, which seems to help a bit. hang in there!

Did you get your strawberries & blueberries? :) I hope so! We don't have Publix here but we do have Trader Joes's & Sprouts.... & of course Target.... I wonder if those stores miss me as much as I miss them lol :) it's been a week since I did a grocery & med run, & I'm going to try to wait until after the 15th to go again (the 15th is supposed to be our Peak day, & the governor is asking everyone in our state to try & stay home for these two weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, got both...fresh blueberries and strawberries. And got some fresh pineapple too. I was trying to guess how much I had spent and too funny...I came within 1.00! I looked at all the stuff in the cart and said to myself, it is probably about 120.00----it came to 119 and some change LOL. We have Trader Joe's and Sprouts too but I love my Publix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a car -- my "big outing" today will be going to a touchless carwash to get the pollen off. I found out from a neighbor that one near us is open, you don't have to touch anything if you have a contactless credit card and bring your own cloths to polish it up after. So excited, lol.

Rare ninjacat123 Posted April 11, 2020 #146 Share Posted April 11, 2020 BTW, off topic, if anyone has booked a Carnival cruise for 2021-22 (I think) there is an additional discount promotion now till the end of tomorrow for Cheers. Takes a total of 20% off. There is a specific way to access it, so if you're interested, let me know. FYI 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
