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.

How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
We unofficially canceled our trip to visit my parents for Christmas. I’m sad but also relieved. Best case scenario no one gets sick but we’ve still contributed to statistics about how many dummies crisscrossed the nation spreading COVID. Worst case scenario I get my parents sick with unthinkable consequences. Nope. So we’re staying home. A little part of me is excited to set up our little tree and let our toddler and her bubble friend decorate it and drink hot cocoa from their matching mini mugs I just ordered. Here’s to new traditions like it or not!
