Loner summer check in [View all]

Hey everyone!

How are things in the Lonerverse?

I haven't gotten out much except for groceries and a few necessities. I've been making masks and dropping them off at the drive through of my local pharmacy.

This morning I got a finger caught in my sewing machine. It somehow got in the space above the needle and now I have a nasty gash.

Been hanging out with my kid and the animals. The saying "Raising a teenager is like getting pecked to death by a chicken"...I get it now.

I didn't put in a very big garden this year. Mostly peppers and some kiss melons.

Any adventures this summer for you guys/gals?
