Helga's Sparkles

Blog about the pandemic from my husband, Ernest What to do during COVID-19 house arrest 1. Update your website 2. Play games on your computer... 3. Sunbath in your own back yard. 4. Read a book 5. Get Audible, Chirp, or any other book reader and have a book read to you 6. DON’T take a nap! (It messes with your sleep cycle). 7. Find a pretty stone on line and buy it. 8. Wrap your pretty stone. 9. Buy a tumbler and grit if you don’t already have one. 10. Put an empty colored bottleExample of green bottle in a paper bag and break it down to 1 pieces. (Remove label first)! 11. Tumble glass in coarse grit (maybe 60 grit) You are making ocean glass. 12. Wire wrap your ocean glass. (Did you see that coming?) 13. Read your junk mail carefully. This may be difficult as I haven’t seen much of that stuff lately. (Just when we need it the most it goes away. I suppose when we don’t need it any more it’ll come back). 14. (You’re not going to like this one so skip to 15). Reorganize your cupboard. (Told ya you weren’t going to like this one). 15. Plant a garden 16. Build a raised garden (order parts on line) 17. Make face masks (really thick so COVID-19 can’t get through) 18. I just got a text from some lady I never met that made a web site from what her mother gave her! (I would NOT recommend doing that). 19. Put a few books in two shopping bags, evenly weighted. Now use them for dumbbells and start working out. 20. March in place more good exercise. (That coming from a person who believes that ‘exercise’ is the longest 4 letter word. Do as I say not as I do ). 21. Get deeply involved in your hobby. 22. Clean house. (Your maid is probably not coming and definitely should not.) 23. I’m going to have to write more they just extended the stay at home to May 15th 24. Take up sewing and make new clothes so when we finally get out of our homes we will have a whole new wardrobe. 25. Give your postal worker a preview of your new wardrobe each day. (just the outer wear). 26. Pay extra attention to your dogs and cats. You won’t be taking them to the dog park any time soon. (Which is a great relief to your cats). 27. Read the holy book of your religion cover to cover. 28. Go on line and research origins and current believes of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islamism, Satanism, atheism, Judaism, and Christianity. We might be free by the end of your research but don’t let that stop you. 29. If we are not free yet compare the believes of these seven major religions. 30. I should have an on line wire wrap course by the end of #29 so take it.
