Keeping busy (and sane) during the pandemic

fresh strawberries

Keeping busy during this pandemic has not been a problem for us, in spite of being mostly locked down. Trying to stay sane is an uphill battle, me losing it most of the time and then making small advances that tend not to last long. It's work in progress. Keeping busy means I … [Read more...]

A slow week

May 10, 2020 milabassett 2 Comments

This past week seemed to drag forever, it was a hard one for me - one of many. I always look forward to Friday afternoons, to catch my breath and recuperate before lunging into another week of work and homeschooling. Reading is one the things that keeps me from loosing it … [Read more...]
