PANDEMICALLY SPEAKING- Updates and graphs

I get multiple updates on my computer daily, telling me how many now, of everything COVID- just got another as I write this. Graphs and new buzz words like contact tracing, PPE, averages, predictions, and as important as all of that information is- I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT all the time.

The predicament itself is suspenseful and worrisome enough- and so, at the risk of sounding irresponsible and uninterested in the ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, (which sounds like a really good trade at the moment.I'll trade you one elephant to hang out in the lobby if you'll take away sickness, death, and all the rest of it.) I'm here to tell you that Churchlady Chronicles' updates will not offer those kinds of numbers and such.

Here at work church, the front desker has been very busy. I've been going home linted even though the Lenten season is over, largely due to cutting out fabric shapes that resemble single breasted bras or cutting off threads from finished products.

I finally broke down and brought some of the little friends who hang out in my regular office, out here to help me at the front desk. They have made a world of difference. They have been working hard on the calendar, for one.

It dawned on me that as their caretaker, I needed to set a good example, so in addition to my own human size single breasted bra, we sent a message to all who pass by. All few of us. And now, you, friends. 

When I took this picture, we were still waiting on some test results on the gnomes. They are now all masked but for one, and he has just gotten over the vile virus, ergo does not need a mask! He recovered just in time for Godzilla to step on him. and if you wonder about the little guy who appears to be in the giant's mouth? Well, that thoughtful giant creature is simply giving the little one chest compressions with his teeth. Practicing what they all learned in CPR training.

So much going on here, people. So so much.
