By the time you read this, I’m hoping that I will finally test negative.

Yup, the COVID fairy was kind enough to stop at my house at the beginning of the week. (Man, I miss the tooth fairy.)

And just like the last time I had COVID, it started with two days of absolute misery. Even my molars ached! But by the third day, I felt as though I had a generic head cold. 

I may have mentioned in the past that I don’t do well with resting. I’m getting better at it, but in general, I have a difficult time being still. There are always things to do! Not to mention, I’m now a week away from moving, and I still have things to pack.

Despite feeling vastly improved, my energy levels are not back up to full operating speed.

This means engaging in quieter pursuits to give my body a chance to heal.

So, I read and worked on a jigsaw puzzle and rested, followed by more jigsaw puzzling and more resting. 

Why doesn’t the CDC have any warnings about impulse buying while you're quarantining? In my head-cold haze, I may have placed four separate seed orders for seeds that struck my fancy.

Mind you, I have already gone through my seed inventory for the year and replaced what I needed.

Can someone please explain to me why I need three different varieties of kale when I’m not even a big fan, and the cabbage worms are just going to eat it anyway?

After about five minutes over at Rare Seeds, I convinced myself that I'm going to grow Peruvian sugar bowl gourds this year, dry them, paint them in beautiful designs and give everyone handmade bowls for Christmas.   

At this point, I need help. If I don’t test negative soon, can someone please cut the cable to my internet and send more jigsaw puzzles? Thanks.
