In Case it Seems Like I’m Perfectly Fine
In case it seems like I’m perfectly fine, which you might think from all the garden / cooking / sewing / cat photos, let me note, for the record, that I’m walking around on the verge of tears for hours every day. There’s a huge knot of tension in my upper back that Kevin periodically

I Have These Seedlings
Okay, so I have all these seedlings, and they’re ridiculously cheerful, which is great, but I am also getting anxious and stressed about them because I have no idea what I’m supposed to do with them next. I think some of them need thinning? Some of them I probably put too many seeds in? Help.

Serendib Garden April 7 2020
Doing these, I’m mostly learning that I’m a truly TERRIBLE videographer. Jeez. I made the mistake of carrying my morning coffee around with me this time, which meant that I was even less effective than usual at actually showing you plants. I won’t do that again, sorry!

Forsythias don’t actually taste like much, like most edible flowers, but v. pretty! I usually do a lemon daffodil
Cutting Elastics
We’ve been cutting elastics today, to pass along to the people who are sewing replacements onto N-95 masks for healthcare workers. 35 * 12 = 420? I think that’s today’s goal, to cut 420 elastics; I think each mask takes two, so 210 masks. Not a ton, but not nothing either.
Masks for Food Service Workers
A dozen masks for local food service workers, done. I also recorded a video of myself making these, so once we’ve had a chance to edit it, I’ll put that up.

Restocking on Coconut Milk
I’ve mostly been pretty chill about pandemic cooking, since we were lucky enough to start out with a well-stocked chest freezer, pantry, etc., but then I ran out of coconut milk a week ago, and boom! I immediately went and placed an order to have 24 cans shipped to us. A relief when they arrived;
