Sunday was a nice, quiet day. Played board games (Time Stories) online with friends. Dropped off 12 masks for donation. Asked Merav if she’d like me to make masks to send to her and her family. She did, so I sent pictures of fabric so they could pick out patterns. I… have a lot of fabric.
I’ve gotten some of my fabric from Etsy sellers, some from Fat Quarter Shop. I’m loving the batik patterns right now.
Anyway, I’m making 8 masks total for Merav’s household, 2 for each of them (one to wash and one to wear). I’ll mail them out in pairs, in envelopes with at least 70ยข of postage (2-oz letter).
Monday
Andrew let me know his pair of masks arrived. Yay! My mailing method was a success!
Skype was funky and didn’t share my messages with my boss nor his messages with me. I explored ways to capture Facebook feeds–I’m saving the Mayor’s page, the Danbury Covid-19 support page, and the tri-state mask making page every Monday. This should help give future researchers a feeling of how it was to be around now.
I also went to the pharmacy to pick up my meds. I was in a rush because Trader Joe’s, the grocery store next to the pharmacy, closes 2 hours earlier than normal. When I realized this, I dashed out at 6:15 with my mask and keys, took Chris’s car (mine has a slow leak in a tire that would have taken a few minutes to re-inflate), and got to the store. While there, I took pictures of the signs on the stores and the chalk drawings at Trader Joe’s, showing where to stand in line to enter the store. Lots of folks in masks. Several stores required masks.
