The Stillroom

Yes. The quaran-ton. I have been reduced to lifting hand weights and trying to walk on a treadmill next to the dryer in the basement. My daily steps have dropped dramatically since we started to stay home. It is an effort. They say if you do something new a bunch of days in a row, it soon becomes a habit.

Does binge watching Mindy Kaling’s new show Never Have I Ever on Netflix count? That was no effort. I did it a bunch of days in a row. It was terrific entertainment to try and escape this shit show for a while.

So this past weekend we (Mike) mastered making homemade English muffins and all I can say is, “oh my”. Pizza crust recipes have also been perfected. Oh, we also made cannoli’s for the first time so there’s that.

I think I would like to have a food truck.

I am disappointed to say I have gained a quaran-ton. I planted lettuce seedlings today.

It will be interesting to see how this week goes with new cases of the virus in our county and state and to see how we progress and where we will land by the coming week’s end. As a retailer, some days it is hard to be hopeful.

I always wondered how The Stillroom would wrap up its run. I really don’t where this is going.

Stay safe, distance yourself, wash those mitts often, wear your mask to protect others in case you’re asymptomatic (have it and don’t know it), and and support the curbside service that Diamond Antiques & Gifts is offering in the meantime.
