Crafting at the end of the world
Apr. 2nd, 2020 02:04 pm1. Limiting my news intake to 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening is very very helpful.
2. That did not stop me from taking a walk outside and feeling pretty anxious anyone got within 6 feet of me.
3. I am making masks at home that I will donate to the local craft shop that organized themselves into a local center for this kind of thing - they are good people, and they will donate them on in bulk to whatever organizations are accepting fabric masks at this moment.
4. Sewing is simultaneous comforting and generally very odd at this moment.
5. McVities digestive biscuits are a better version of Graham Crackers and I do really like them.
6. Some kind soul has put all the of the Granada Sherlock Holmes series from 1984 into youtube and it is a balm to my worried soul.
I'd like to say, I don't begrudge anyone who is not particularly worried just now. I am personally prone to anxiety and I don't like the idea of the people around me being harmed - but I am aware that other people's reactions are going to be different than mine. With proper precautions and some reasonable thoughtfulness, I don't think there's any reason for you to be more anxious than is resolved by limiting your going out - there's no real reason to be more afraid that you have to be.
