This is a picture I took while sitting at the Belfast City airport 6 hours early because the 24 hour PCR test I took was lost by the lab and I had to get to the airport early to pay for another test - this time a rapid antigen. There are no customer service agents around until 2 hours before your flight while several people sit around waiting for their COVID test results.I was struck by the UK’s expediency in getting free tests to people. Little did I know that I would come home to CT and find people indifferent to Omicron - no mask mandate - and no tests to be found!

My hobby - and a secondary source of income - was creating one of a kind arts and crafts. I used to sell my work at conventions and art gallery shows. The things I made were made specifically for these shows. All of the shows that I was going to participate in have been cancelled. That's left me with a stock pile of unsold stuff and no real incentive to be creating anything new. I don't know if the shows will return after the pandemic. I may need to find another way to sell off what I have created. Right now, though, I don't have the emotional wherewithal to tackle that.
