I am glad to hear that you are well! I came in today to check on the f-list and see if everyone was okay. I was very concerned since you were in one of the more affected areas.

Work is remote until 2021, so I think I will start becoming bored too in a few weeks! I was stuck in airports and quarantine for a bit.

I am learning woodworking. My hands are full of splinters, I am horrible at it, but this is the most fun I've had in ages :)

*hugs*
