SHELTER

Fio is doing the "shelter" thing. Her food is delivered and she stays ten feet away from any neighbors she sees when she picks up her mail. She's also made a mask to wear when she has to drive into town to fill up her gas tank or pick up prescriptions.
     At first, the sheltering was sort of boring. Then Fiorella suddenly realized that, at last, she had the time she'd been whining about needing in order to finish off the romance she'd had lying around for four years--and now she's writing four hours a day. She also spends a lot of time going through everything she has painted or designed  that she can decide what to take with her when she moves out. Another self-assignment is, of course, putting the house and the acreage in the best shape possible.
     Another plus is the increased number of phone calls and emails from friends and family--nothing like imminent danger to pull people together.
     Fiorella also now has time to contemplate the political scene and comment on it in places like Facebook. She's just one voice, but it's always been a loud one.
     Sheltering has also given Fio time to find a company that will print her DUMP TRUMP design on buttons cheaply enough that she can give them away by the bagfuls. Wish her luck--better yet, if you know people with a button press, send Fio their phone number! 😃
