What to do?
It's been quite a week. Businesses had to be 50% staffed, then 75% then 100%. States are locking down and people are still hoarding toilet paper..
I thought I might start a list of what you can do while sheltering in place.
• Visit musuems online
• Dust off that old instrument in your basement and give it a go
• Put together a puzzle...that one in the back of your closet you got as a gift years ago :)
• Start a journal (Fred's been doing it everday for a long time now)
• Teach yourself a foreign language...you have the time
• Watch a really long movie
• Meditate
• Make your own hand sanitizer
• Write thank-you notes to people who went out of their way for you
• Get on a Zoom call with your friends
• Join a Gotham Zoom meeting too..it's fun
• Draw a self portrait by using a mirror
• Finally fix that broken whatever in the house
• Work in the yard
• Have your own wine tasting
• Write a book with your family...Everyone picks a character and writes a chapter about their adventures then reads it aloud
• Consider donating money to food banks to help families struggling to get meals
• ?

Norman, I've never seen Days of Our Lives. Thank you.
My immediate challenge is learning ZOOM for online group classes, and combining Synchronous/Asynchronous teaching. Be well, be safe everyone!! Take no risks...says the woman who did her first 5 SCUBA dives alone with the sole instruction being, "When it gets hard to breathe, come up."

Further digging led me to an easy Pattern:

And a detailed analysis of what materials to use when making facemasks:

I couldn't sew my way into a paper bag, so I am hoping there are some crafty Gothamites out there. I know 3 quilters (sisters) who are hard at work on this. They are donating to their nurse-nieces to distribute. Of course, giving them to the homeless is also a good idea.
