During COVID, my Significant Other and I engaged in the sport of badminton. My body needed to move, and my mind desperately needed a distraction. We would play several games a day. We didn't really play by the rules. We just hit the birdie over the net to each other until we were exhausted!

After it got dark, I would submerge myself in jigsaw puzzles. I was obsessed and laser-focused on each piece, trying to shut out the horrific news that seemed to be bombarding me on an hourly basis.

Still play an occasional game of badminton and enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles with my granddaughters.

Its not exactly a new thing for me but, during Covid I ramped up hospitality at the hospital, especially during snowmageadon. Baking banana and pumpkin bread for staff and making coffee and tea. Just trying to make myself feel better about everything by doing the only thing I know would be welcomed. Such strange times. Love the dog painting. I have not really ever tried painting. Maybe I will try after writing for a while.
