Neighbors

Across the street is an apartment building. The apartments are small and some are really small. Until a couple of weeks ago, most of them were clearly furnished but I rarely saw people in them. Now, they are full of people all the time. It's weird and I forget and then will glance out the window and 'hey! there's a guy in his kitchen!'

This time next month the Tree That I Hate will get leaves on it and I'll lose my view. But, for now, it's fun to have the compay.

Down the hall, the weird couple who's cat I fed one weekend just texted me asking if I had any yeast they could borrow. One of them probably said 'hey, let's make some bread!'

I got an email from the hospital that asked for mask sewers. Donations have staved off this need for now but they may need other sewing so stand by. Standing by.

I got on the treadmill but only for 10 minutes. I did do a big clean out of some bedroom storage. I have a whole lot of socks. I rarely wear socks. Not clear how that happened. Otherwise I spent the day knitting and watching TV and playing Montezuma 3 on my phone.

Doing my part!

Both cats are fine and doing their part.

Maybe they are going to make an Amish friendship bread starter with the yeast and then have bread throughout the virus without having to buy it. I have some yeast and I've been thinking about doing that today but haven't done it yet.

Send me the socks! I never seem to have enough! :)

Seriously, though, socks are the number 1 needed clothing item at shelters, so send them there.

I wonder why the apartments opposite suddenly have tenants?

[susandennis]

Because our government has asked everyone to stay home. They've always lived there but they were always out doing stuff and now they are not.

Ah, makes sense

Probably a lot of people are baking bread during this craziness who wouldn't under other circumstances, it's not hard to do but it's very time-consuming.

Are you going to make cute little masks for the kitties?

[susandennis]

Oh, they would love that... not

I can't imagine the last time I used yeast! I think the packet in the cupboard probably moved here with me when I bought the house in 2004.

I should go find some a little fresher.

Meantime, I think I'm gonna try baking this beer bread that requires no yeast! https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/2766-beer-bread
