What is there to say that other people haven’t already said? This is awful, people are dying, other people are ignoring the whole situation and being selfish – I could go on, but what is the point?

I’m still planning on going on my Alaska cruise at the end of the summer and I am thinking about going camping in the next couple of weeks, assuming I don’t get sick in the meantime. Also, assuming Michigan doesn’t go into total lockdown like some other states have done.

Anyway – remember I said that I have a new job? Well, candy orders are down, so we have less work to do these days, so we’re cutting back on production. That said, the company I work for is amazing and doing everything possible to avoid layoffs, so there is that. As long as I can get 2-3 days a week, I will be ok.

In the meantime, I have things that I can do at home. I have some paintings to work on – doing some studies of snails and frogs right now. I also have my bike set up indoors so I can get some exercise. We have plenty of baking supplies, too, so I shall be experimenting on my days off!

Above all, I hope everyone does what they can to stay safe and protect the most vulnerable people in society.
