Are you doing anything artistic or creative these days that you weren’t doing before? If so, talk about it.
I make lots of paper cranes. I made a lot of them before the pandemic to hang up this paper crane rainbow waterfall, but now more than ever I rely on folding the cranes to refocus myself, to relax, process, and feel out my own feelings with every fold. I hope yo make more seeing as my workspace at home is full of sticky notes which helps me stay mindful in getting work done and taking care of myself. I also made a few paper crane gowns since I have so many paper cranes.

I did it. I ate inside a restaurant. I haven’t eaten inside a restaurant since early 2020. It was the middle of the day and I was with 2 friends who are vaxxed and there was plenty of space - the whole thing. I had a hard time taking off my mask at first. I may need a little time to do these kinds of things without worry. It’s been a long 2 years and I can’t just jump back in. Also cases are rising again so it’s not for nothing. It was really nice though. Food tastes better there then with take out. It really does. My daughter gets her 2nd shot in 2 weeks:) That might help me. But I was on public transit today and there was a guy coughing. He goes and sits like two seats from me. I moved to another train car. No way and no thanks! I noticed that people are starting to shake hands again. I kind of hoped that would just end. Never liked it and now it’s even more annoying to me.
