I am finding I have to ration how much time I spend in online classes or Second Life, because it takes too much out of me. SL doesn't generally do that -- or I can control how much -- but I had a 2-hour workshop before I went on, and I feel wrung out, even though I had a good sleep last night.

Maybe it's the COVID dreams - for me, like parts of movies without the dialogue, but not as well done as actual silent movies so I would know what's happening. I don't know why Anne Archer and Michael Douglas were arguing about their daughter, Anne Hathaway, who was a surgeon. I don't know what the older couple -- Jack Warden and the actress who played Edith Bunker -- were talking about in the kitchen while bulldozers took out the old shopping plaza behind their house. Maybe too much like real life -- so much I don't know, and some is overwhelming.

Whew. Just finished a big batch of face masks. Think I need to take a break from that to do other things. I was determined to make enough to be worth using a flat rate medium priority box and I did. 44 masks will go to a family health center.

I was starting to dream about sewing-- yes, time for a break. ;^)

I clicked on 'i could use some help', but I have no idea what would help. School starting would do it, but ain't nobody on dw can help with that.

At least the air outside is breathable now.

Yes, thank you!

Yay for better air!

I had to organise getting a death notification form for my mother, which I can post in to the registration office, as opposed to bringing it in person. I'm very glad I know the doctor a long time, as I have had quite enough of blubbing at total strangers on the phone :-(

ETA: Cheering things happened too - the doctor told me about his charming new baby, and I got out for a walk in the sunshine. And I have been cooking gourmet dinners for my cat.

You complained yesterday about your cat being super-clingy, but I wonder if she's doing her best to provide grief counseling. Purrs for healing!

Here's hoping that deep breaths refresh you.

[daegaer]

She definitely knows that all is not well - and is upset herself. She likes to check that she knows where I am at all times, and then the purring begins!

Congratulations on so many masks made!

[feng_shui_house]

Thanks! It's good to be able to do something- however small- to help. :^)
