Day 3

Day 3 of furlough…

Today is actually the first Monday of my furlough. The first real day to feel that I’m not scheduled to work for the next 3 months. Even though I intended to wake up early, which I did, I decided to sleep a bit more this morning.

We went to the pharmacy then to the grocery and got more supplies. We didn’t even bother looking at the paper isle.  There’s no use. Plus we already ordered thru Amazon and managed to get an order in for bathroom / toilet paper and also for paper towels. We already received the bathroom tissue / toilet paper last week.  The paper towels are still in transit.

We also went to Joann’s to get some more elastic bands to create more cloth masks to be donated.  We arrived at an empty parking lot and saw that the store was closed.  So no elastic band to create more cloth face mask at the moment.  I do have some ribbons and have made several with the ribbons. But the ribbons are also about to run out.

I was able to make several face masks today and ready to give them to the people that need them.  I have received some requests and glad that I had enough materials to make some for them.  I will try to make some more as someone had reached out that they might be able to donate some elastic bands for me to create more face masks.

So far I’m keeping myself busy.  There’s still many more on the list of things to do.  Plenty of things to do during my furlough. Let’s see what day 4 brings.

Good night.
