I've been under the weather the last two days. I woke up on Tuesday with a very upset stomach, exhaustion, and mild headache.  I spent all day in bed wondering if I was experience allergies, a stomach bug, or Covid-19.  My temperature remained in my normal range which is a good sign.  But, out of an abundance of caution, locked myself away from hubby and daughter.  Of course, if  what I was/am experiencing was/is Covid-19 my family is already exposed. But, you know.  

I won't hold you in suspense. I'm feeling much better this morning.  I'm still fatigued but it's not as bad.  My stomach has settled down. (Yay, not a stomach bug).  I did wake up with congestion and sinus pressure.  I took an allergy pill and the chest congestion has subsided although the sinus pressure remains.  I still have no fever.  I think it's allergies. 

Like a good American, I took this unexpected time of solitude to be productive and  move my blog off of Blogger and onto Weebly.  (Finally I have the layout control I've always wanted!).  ​  

​I received an email fromKnit Picks yesterday. Due to public health concerns, they are still accepting orders but are not shipping .  They are offering 15% off orders today.  

I've always had a good experience with Knit Picks, so I have no doubt they will fulfill orders when it is safe to do so.  
​
I applaud Knit Picks making the decision to suspend shipping so their employees cans social distance.  Although for obsessed knitters, yarn is an essential, it is not an essential business.   

I worry about the small craft businesses surviving this pandemic.  When this is over - and it will end -  there will have to be a concerted effort to support these businesses and the local LYS.  ​
