Are you doing anything artistic or creative these days that you weren’t doing before? If so, talk about it.
This is a cake I have made twice; once for my niece's birthday in February, and it was so popular that her friend's mom wanted it for her birthday. However, since I won't be here then I made it for her for mother's day. I have been baking more - making bread which I was scared to do before. Making bread has a 'mythic' quality to it and many people are terrified of trying it - including me! - and I love cooking and do jams regularly. Anyway - I was sooo bored and under-utilized that I jumped in and made bread and have extended myself in baking as well. Cooking is the ONLY thing that I still feel competent to do at this point. And it gives me a joy from both completing the activity and feeding people.

We hear a lot these days about the economic impact of the pandemic. Has this been on your mind? If so, tell us what you're thinking.
I think about how my friend, who also works as a cashier, was given sick pay for her time with covid, a petty sum that wouldn’t buy a pot to piss in, she’s lucky to have help but still, the utter greed and contempt for working people< that this pandemic has shown a light on cannot be understated. The people that can’t afford to be away from the public get called heroes and other worthless platitudes while billionaires reap from the graves of the dead and the fears of the living.
