That is beautiful. ❤
Thank you. My hope is that ONE DAY it will adorn my actual table. I had another (quite different than this), but my cats ate it and it unraveled and fell apart.
So lovely! I am impressed!
It reminds me of a doily I once made for my roommate's mother for Christmas. Well, I thought it was going to be a doily, it just got kept getting bigger and bigger... I should have looked at the photo of the doily closer and noticed the bowl of fruit sitting in the middle of it! LOL1 -

I wish I knew how to crochet or knit.

Maybe I should put a shirt on before I join this zoom call with all of the Ops staff 😬😂...
I hella did a test run before the meeting to see if I could get on and several of my coworkers were already on 🙈😂4 -
This is a great time to pick up insecure women. Stuck at home, they are bloated, lonely, have lost their tan and have hair growing out of everywhere.

My heart goes out to each and every direct care provider, that doesn’t have proper PPE still providing care. I will say, after using the SAME disposable “standard mask”, inserted into a fabric mask for EVERY patients room, I could no longer place myself at risk. I couldn’t allow myself, to continue to take my inserted mask out, at the end of shift and placing it into a paper bag that hung up in our employee lounge. I couldn’t continue to wear that same mask, that before this pandemic would be thrown away MULTIPLE times, throughout a shift and especially changed after entering an isolation room.
I have a child with an autoimmune disorder and a special needs son. I have a diabetic mother that I live with and elderly parents that no longer wanted to provide childcare.
Why do you think, 24 residents with 3 employees at a Tucson nursing facility tested positive?! Every facility is on lockdown, only patients out are patients on dialysis. There are NO visitors. “WE” those giving direct care, are being used as Guinea pigs on how to stretch out supplies that wouldn’t even protect from COVID-19.
I can’t protect you and neither can healthcare, if they’re not properly supplied.7 -

I wish you and your family good health
Kudos to you for having stuck it out in such a situation as long as you did - take care💕
This is a problem, nevermind TP hoarding...front line workers need to feel "safe", to be able to care for us.
I'm in a veterinary field, we are open to business and down to 1 box of surgical masks we are re-using...
I don't mean any comparison to human health care workers - but I sympathize with the lack of proper hygienic equipment.4 -

I could've written most of this, and this is exactly why I'm typing this from my bed. I've been exactly where you are, and I've been sick for an entire week. There are so many elderly dying in facilities here in NJ, my heart is breaking. My frustration is mounting for us health-care workers...much like you, I feel like a guinea pig, not a hero. Hang in there, babe. I wish I had something encouraging to say to you, I can only offer support and let you know that you're not alone. 💜

People need to be aware of the true crisis 😢 it’s a shame, as healthcare people feel silenced and forced to go to work. When I placed my resignation, I was threatened to be blacklisted if I didn’t carry out 2wks noticed, I was threatened with having my license reported.5 -

Our facility didn’t currently have anyone positive. Yet we still had dialysis patients coming and going. I knew my PPE wasn’t doing anything for me and or anyone else.
Once we wear those mask for shift after shift, come on.. the same mask in an isolation room (sure maybe only on isolation for a cough; to be treated although the “might” have it). Our facility was holding onto masks because of knowing, if and when they get hit with the virus they’d truly need some kind of protection.
Truth is, one can go without symptoms for 10-14days... I know what’s about to hit, I’m not ready to be part of it and or part of that kind of spread.6 -

Thats *kitten*
Here (Ontario, Canada) we are encouraged that if we feel "un safe" in our work environment (any job), to stay home - with no repercussions (ya right) but anyway...nice sentiment.
The numbers being reported are days late, people need to realize too - I was talking to a human health pathologist the other day and the #'s reported are 4 days ago due to the lag in processing...
You take care lady...peace and good health to you, and yours

Me too. I'm not sure what you hate in particular, but I hate it for you. It could be nuts, it could be the weather or a situation...it could be a personal struggle or just the way the blanket is draping over you, or that your coffee is just too cold right now. Whatever it is, I'm feeling it for you.
Edit - NVM, you don't care about my grammar mistakes3 -
I still have a dry cough and TBH, it's sorta freaking me out. Could be "the thing", could be allergies, how the *kitten* am I supposed to know?2
