Evening Stitching

I added a buddy for my eyeless, brainless, floating chick. Hopefully they willl keep each other good company through the night! It’s raining now- too bad I didn’t get their umbrella stitched!
  Smokey has been quite spoiled by Auntie.

She lets him watch videos on her phone- not that he’s spoiled or anything... 😉
I hope all of you have a good night!

Wonderful Sunday

Today was a truly wonderful day. I finally got to stitch, took a nap, and watched a movie. Not bad for being at work! This was one of those days when stitching just made my heart sing with joy. It had been way too long since I had last stitched!
I made quite a bit of progress:

 And here’s a picture of Smokey Kirst sent me:

I hope all of you had a wonderful Sunday! It got pretty busy about 10 minutes after our Day 12 left for the day, but I still can’t complain!
Have a good night!

Almost Free

It’s almost 8 o’clock, which means I’m almost free to leave work! Waking up is still hard though!
Good morning!

Taking a vote

 So, how many of you are introverts? And how many of you are extroverts? If you're introverted like me, and stuck working anyway, its hard to see the benefits of quarantines, or "sheltering at home." Aside from the whole, flattening-the-curve-so-healthcare-capabilities-don't-get-overwhelmed-thing. And there not being as many people out and about. Except at Walmart- which is the pretty much the only place I'm going these days beside work, home, and the gas station. But still, I am finding it rather disappointing that I don't get to work from home. Oh well, maybe that will be reality some other time!

As Mom said, Anna's reaction is  Mom and myself, while Elsa's reaction is Dad and Kirst. (Granted, Anna and Elsa's personalities  are opposite of that, which makes it even more funny to me!) As a bonus, here is Olaf:

Are youns getting any extra crafting, movie-watching, or good ol' family time in during all of this social distancing?
 Happy quarantining!

Smokey's New Look

Smokey Bear has gotten a new look recently. I had found one of Daisy's bows that she has not worn yet, and put it on Smokey's collar as a makeshift bow tie. He refused to let any of us remove it. His Aunt Kirstie made him a couple of bow ties, which he loves to show off!

  I know that some people are worried or scared about the Corvid 19 going around, while others are just sick of hearing about it and having it affect their lives. If you're like me, you are enjoying looking at all of the funny memes about it and other things.  I've decided to make a point to post something cute (like Smokey) or funny when I post. Sometimes it will be about Corvid 19, sometimes it won't. I think if we keep our sense of humor intact, we will come out of this a lot better than if we just panic or worry all the time. Most of patients here lately are worried that they have it, even the ones that have no symptoms, avoid sick people like a bad day, haven't traveled further than 5 miles since 1989, and have practically barricaded themselves in their house since it the US. Seriously, if their back pain hadn't kept them from sleeping (which is usual for them), they would not have called us.
  That said, if I hear something important, I will share it here. And I'm sure I'll have plenty of work stories to tell. But, we still need to laugh as much as possible, and look at the positive side of all of this.

Please take care of yourselves and the people you love! And let me know what you are up to with all of this going on!

 Happy Stitching,

 Emmy
