The husband’s latest weaving project! His weaving, my handspun. Apparently we’re a fiber power couple.

Any of my #knitting friends here tried sequence knitting, Cecelia Campochiaro's technique? The patterns are soothing to my mind, and I can't help but think that they might be soothing to knit, too.

Resting on heating pads and there's a knock at the door. It's a neighbor - "why aren't your boys out at the neighborhood picnic?" I didn't actually know there was one, but I explained that I was ill...and "Y'all need some fried chicken!" was her response.

We now have two paper plates, two bags of chips, a plate of fried chicken, and a plate of hamburgers.

I love my neighborhood.

I am at a work dinner with my husband. He sits to my left, the foremost authority on Medicare law is next to him. Across the table from me is a former Cabinet secretary. To my right is the CEO of a large, very influential healthcare advocacy organization. We are at a Fancy Restaurant.

Dinner is family style. When the mashed potatoes are passed to me, I take a spoonful, and then inadvertently DROP THEM ON MY HAND.

They are very hot, and I yell “Oh fuck!!!!”

I may never be invited back. 🙄🤦♂️

I absolutely love it when it's actually cold enough to wear my hand knit gear!

Yesterday my Uber driver, who was wearing an N95 mask, explained to me that he was just getting over a bad cold but didn't want his customers to worry.

Today, waiting for an elevator, a masked elderly gentleman told me that it would be best if I took another elevator. "I don't know what I have but no need to get it, if you don't mind taking another elevator."

Today I am appreciating the kindness of these strangers who are looking out for those who don't even know them.
