April 16, 2020. Photo sketch #1: Glasses -- Caption: Covid days. This is a nervous sketch. I sketched this while on an audio webinar with Common Cause NY, as we learned what measures Congress needed to take to give relief to Americans who had lost their jobs because of Covid. Plus, the Trump Regime was withholding medical supplies needed to treat Covid. Forcing states to bid on critical supplies. April 20, 2020. Photo sketch #2: Caption: Chives kept inside until it's warmer outside. Covid days. Again, I was listening to the Pandemic Crisis steps that Congress needed to make. Sketching stuff was a way to cope with the fact that it felt like we were being abandoned. We were being abandoned.

The delta variant has me really scared. I live in a highly transmissible area of the country and am immunocompromised. As it is, I am still dealing with an extreme allergic reaction to an infusion I had back in June so am not in the best of spirits. It's been difficult to get appointments to get this problem solved. And I just learned this afternoon that a close friend has tested positive for covid. We had our vaccinations together back in March. She says she is doing fairly well but I am still worried about her. She's worried about me because we spent time together at the end of last week. It's all pretty depressing and scary.
