I am going to sew. I am going to sew things. I am going to sew ALL THE THINGS! The thing is, I haven’t sewn on a machine in a good 18 years, but it’s like riding a bike, right? You just jump right back onto it and bam, it all comes back, right?

Right???

I didn’t even own my own sewing machine until a couple of years ago when a friend got a new one and generously passed hers on to me. But two decades ago I did do a fair amount of sewing so I’m feeling grossly overconfident that I can do it again.

And teach Poppy too!

Now the CDC has conveniently given me something to sew. Masks! But first I’m going to sew hammocks for our rats to sleep in. These are very easy because our chonky rat, Pippin (also known as Sir Chonks-A-Lot) simply chews through them in a matter of minutes. Therefore, you can’t screw them up! Because even if you do, it’s going to be chewed up anyway! The other two rats don’t do this, but Pip does. Little bugger.

How did we get to the point where we wear masks everywhere? Does anyone else find this really weird?

Also I watching Tiger King. Do not recommend. The people are crazy, yes, and the story is just bizarre, but at the end of the day, even normal people should not have wild animals as pets. Bottom line, tigers, lions, monkeys, bears, etc. are not pets and you should treat them as the non-domesticated animals that they are. Backyard zoos should be outlawed, as should big cat ownership.

I also have come to realize that several people do not like Shaun the Sheep. Since there are no actual spoken words, you could, of course, turn the sound all the way down and listen to your favorite mix tape in the background while enjoying the antics of Shaun, Bitzer, and the Farmer. But hey, your loss.
