ParticipantThe Loops Troops bought me some Stress Relief bath salts and lotion from Aveda for Christmas. It smells heavenly! I think they were trying to tell me something 😉

I’m enjoying learning to make different fizzy concoctions to ease my withdrawal from caffeine and embrace my inner bartender.January 4, 2020 at 2:35 pm #1507KellyPolston
ParticipantStretching! I suffer from disk problems in my lower back and have made a daily commitment to stretch my hamstrings and glutes. Not only is it helping with my discomfort, it’s making me slow down for a few minutes everyday.

ParticipantJust want to say Hi to everyone from Northern California. I work at a small hospital that is part of a larger system. We are doing fine. Do to social distancing, my commute in the afternoon is almost as fast as when I come home at midnight! (I work swing shift.)
Just a reminder, change out toothbrushes or you can sterilize them in the dishwasher or boil them. It does a number on the bristles if you put in the dishwasher. But changing them out every 3 months or whenever you are starting to get over a cold helps. Also, change out your bathroom hand towels often.
Even though I am still working, my retired husband & retired schoolteacher mom aren’t. Mom tends to sub this time of year. She is busy going through her stash & working on projects she seems to never have time to finish. My husband finally clean out the garage. Easier to park in it!
I went through my stash. Finally working on some of my KnitStar kits! And Blueprint kits from some of my favorite KnitStars! I send my daughter-in-law (Joplin, MO) any stash I don’t want anymore. She has a group of friends to dole it out whatever she doesn’t want. I am amaze some of the creative things she has come up with over the year.
Remember the ribbon sweater kit? 1999? My mom sent it to Sarah who made it into a cute pig! So sometimes that yarn needs to be looked at in a different way.

ParticipantFinding some quiet time.
My husband is working from home in my sewing room and there are so many on-line meetings, conference calls and phone calls. With spending many hours sewing face masks, I’ve been just a few feet away. Even when I’m downstairs, I can hear some of them. I’m accustomed to a semi-quiet house. Prior to the stay-at-home: he is at the office, oldest child has left the nest, youngest is still home but in college and working part-time. Having him home is wonderful, but I didn’t realize how much I was accustomed to quiet (I do watch TV while stitching or doing chores but at a very low volume).
We live on almost 8 acres with a garden, chickens and bees. I find myself walking outside “to check on things” a little more often than normal. But that is more difficult now that the heat and humidity have moved in – ha ha – so middle of the day outdoor checks are not as often.
