Today is a mix of fun and work.
We have two yard sales to go to and my mom has a few errands to run. I get to go to the sales but I'll be waiting in the car while she runs into Publix and Walmart.
On a normal day before this happened, I'd be with her helping her out and stuff but now it's completely different.
I shop as little as possible because I have a hard time wearing the mask. I need to have my stress ball with me since I lost my fidget cube. Because it occupies my hands, my husband usually helps with shopping.
Even with the stress ball, it doesn't last long. I can't talk in the mask, my hands start to shake like crazy and I can't breathe even though I keep the mask under my nose.
Even while writing this, I know that most will not pick up on the difficulty of wearing the mask but instead criticize me on how I have to wear it.
That's okay though, I've come to expect it. That's why I go out as little as possible but staying home completely isn't an option.
I have most of my online work done and I'm very proud of that fact. I'll be able to put a little extra on a bill this month that I've been trying to get off of us.
What's everyone else up to today?

It's a soft ball that you squeeze to relieve stress or anxiety

That's very good to help out with the bills. Your Mom is lucky to have you.
