You are beautiful inside and out.
Small things. The critical care vet clinic currently treating one of my cats got orders to implement CDC protocols while I was there waiting to see a doctor and they were stressed out by the thought of having to ask people with critically ill/injured animals to stay in their cars until a staffer could come out to collect the animal. At one point one of them said they'd need a lot of chocolate to get through it. So I bought them a 4 lb box of See's candies. Small gesture but they were overwhelmed for being recognized for their work.
I belong to a few Savannah cat FB groups one of which is for the purpose of people posting stories of their cats who need to be rehomed. Two days ago a woman posted photos and stories of her 2 cats that she wanted to rehome because she had to close her newly opened restaurant and was worried she wouldn't be able to provide food for her cats. The cats are elderly and it would be terribly stressful for them to be given away. Didn't take but 2 hrs for people to convince her to keep them and put a list on of things she needs on Amazon. She'll be able to keep her cats.
Received this in an email from Nordstrom this morning:
In this time of great need, we're also looking for unique ways to help others in our communities. For example, we're leveraging our Alterations teams in Washington, Oregon, Texas and California to sew more than 100,000 masks that will be distributed to Providence Health & Services. We're also continuing to support our partners providing critical services to those impacted by COVID-19. You can visit our Nordstrom Now blog to see more on all our efforts and how you can help.
So impressed that businesses are doing what they can to help during this crisis.
Wow! I'm so curious if you heard from anyone. Have you? Did you make the template yourself?
I made the postcards using a template in Pages. I cant figure out how to upload a document here but if you like, I can put it on Etsy as a free download. Just let me know if you‘d like it.
I did hear from my next door neighbor and have spoken to her a few times. Made a care package for her with a fresh baked loaf of bread, some toilet roll, paper towels, and a bag of clementines.
The only other response so far was, as some warned me, a text containing an unsavory photo. #Murica

Thank you for offering the download, yes, that would be wonderful!
This is cute. My other twin has had his hours cut at work and is living in their shared apartment by himself since his brother is deployed. Neither of them do much cooking but since he's staying in he is trying his hand at all kinds of things. Now I'm getting all these texts of pics of his food he's cooked and links to this guy Life of Boris and his cooking channel. I have no idea what kind of guy or channel this Life of Boris is so if you look at it and it's sketchy, I didn't know. The couple cooking ones I've watched are pretty hilarious though. The kid and I are very close and we miss seeing each other since he's been staying away. His texts and calls make me smile every day.
Red, I often find myself bored to pieces, and I don't cook at all. Can you have your kid text me too?!
One of my neighbors made masks for all of us. I open my mailbox yesterday afternoon and there was a beautiful handmade mask, red with white cranes, and a lovely note. I can’t imagine risking wearing it, but it certainly made my day!
