I find myself working alone most of the time. What started out as social distancing for COVID reasons has turned out to be what works best for my chocolate making cohort, Helene, and I. I am an early morning person and Helene is more of an afternoon person. This is working for making chocolate and sweets, both take up a great deal of space, but not so great for socializing. To beat back the loneliness I’ve been listening to more music and of course podcasts. One of my favorite podcasts is “Phoebe Reads a Mystery”. Phoebe not only reads mysteries but a good deal of classic literature. This winter one of the books I listened to was “Little Women”. It’s so cozy to be crafting and have someone reading you a story.
I am looking forward to having more people around when we have the drive-thru in this factory space open again; until then it’s like Mr. March from “Little Women” says, “We work while we wait, to make good use of hard times.” I’m working on Easter candies right now. They will be on the shelves shortly.
Peace and Good Health, Tracy.
