It’s Been A While

It’s been a while since my last blog post. I mean, not a really long time, but longer than I had planned. 
I’ll try not to let it happen again but I’m sure I will.

I have trouble writing blog post when things are not comfortable in the world around me. I like to blog positive, happy or fun post. 
Oh, I have a lot to say about the things going on in the world today but I try to stay away from political topics or bad news. We get enough of that on TV. 

I also had a pretty busy week last week so I was never in a quiet frame to write a post. 
As I have mentioned in a previous post, I have been crocheting “ear savers”. They are these little bands that fit around the back of your head with a button on each end. Medical workers use them to hold their mask on without having to put the masks around their ears. They have been wearing mask so much that their ears are sore. These are a big relief to them. 


There is business in my town called “Morgans Shoes and Bootery’. They also are a big supplier of professional scrubs. This is where most medical workers and others buy their uniform scrubs. This means they are probably in need for ear savers too. My handmade ear savers are a big hit and they sell out quick. They have been ordering 50 at time from me. I can have them ready usually within 3 days. 


I also had a couple of job interviews last week. Both interviews went well and they seemed to like me. 
One already denied me and I am currently waiting back from the other. My search continues. 
With all the craziness going on right now, a lot of businesses have put a freeze on hiring. Hopefully things will get better. I’m tired of being home all the time. However, I love all the quality time I get to have with my husband. 


New Normal?

“Welcome to the new normal” or “Be prepared for the new normal”.
I am hearing that a lot lately and I’m not on board. 
Maybe I don’t want a “new normal.”
When I hear that phrase, it makes me think people are accepting the way things are right now and willing to just live with it. 
I don’t think we should give up so easy.
Not that I liked the “old normal”, I mean, that didn’t really work for me either. 
Why can’t we strive to make a “better normal?” 
Who wants to wear an unnecessary mask everywhere they go? (Don’t get me started on that!) 
Who wants to have to worry about where their next dollar is coming from?
We need a better normal or just go back to how things were. I don’t know.
But I refuse to make this mess we are going through right now a “new normal”.

It sucks.
