Isolation Diary: A lovely day today! Sunshine, garden, butterflies. And now full disclosure: I live alone in a house that is paid for. I am basically ‘retired’ and live on social security and pensions. I am affected by the stock market but not by my place of work being shut down. And that is all just timing. I live alone because my husband is dead and my children have their own homes. Although they are close (Burbank and Pasadena) and that is a blessing. All of you dear dear people have your own circumstances and challenges, some serious, I am sure. Why do I continue to post? Well, once you start something and continue long enough to sort of ‘establish’, how do you gracefully retreat? And also…I have been sending out … energy?…messages?…to those beyond my immediate and close circle since I was 8 years old. (that’s when I had my first acting class.) Why? Don’t know. And it’s haphazard at best.
Continuing with my actual day–making face masks for the family and a short but fun D and D session tonight as our trio of adventurers rescued Droop the goblin slave (animated by Maggie our DM) and we fed him maggots (his preferred food) and I gifted him with a scimitar. We are hoping he does not betray us.

Anything that ends “…we fed him maggots (his preferred food) and I gifted him with a scimitar. We are hoping he does not betray us” is clearly something I am happy to have read. Keep it up!-)
