So while the rest of the world is staying in, staying home, and (hopefully) staying safe from this awful, plague-like virus that’s going around, I’m still going to work in a small, thus-far mildly effected hospital.
I say mildly, because in the grand scheme of things, we have been truly lucky up to this point. Business is much slower right now than it normally would be, and I hope it stays that way so that we can cheer the community for their heroic measures of staying in at this time.
Meanwhile, I’m taking the time to learn new things, make some serious progress on a quilt I started around this time last year, and doing my best to keep my coworkers comfortable by sewing buttons on their headbands.
My accomplishments over the last two nights have been:
- Sew buttons onto 14 headbands for coworkers
- Make 100+ English paper piecing hexies
- Submitted documentation for renewing my professional certification
- Read some professional journals
- Researched schools and options for earning CEUs, and advancing, and possibly changing my role in healthcare.
While the Covid-19 isolation and quarantine time isn’t much fun for anyone, it is a really good time to do some self reflection and figure out who and what we want to be once this all blows over. Now is the time to maintain the things that are worth keeping, and build the foundations for the changes and improvements we want to make.
I think I have an idea on what direction I want my life to take after this. More of that later, once I fine tune the details.
