I can't begin to thank you all enough for all the thoughtful words prayers, emails calls....just amazing, all of you.
I still have until this Saturday that I have to stay isolated but am doing well. Got alot of painting done. Blisters were only on my left fingers and gratefully I am right handed. Pete and I were very lucky to have a mild case but dont think for a minute COVID is like the flu...its more like having Mega Flu. The first week was bad and we both still feel tired and ready for bed by 6pm.
However, we know we dodged a big bullet this time and our county is in the PURPLE, which is scary. Anyway, I want to get more active here again and support my family here, so your stuck with me, lol.
After Christmas I got involved in doing some portraits for charity and will be giving a percentage of what I make to a charity called Forever33 and a trying to decide how to divvy up what I make to add another charity to it. So I am already getting orders which may put be behind with EX portraits, but I WILL continue to do them. I dont have my list in front of me but I hope to start the next EX painting by January sometime.....and a redo on MarilynH I think is next in line. 
So folks, through it all ( COVID) I am SO DAMN GLAD I do not smoke anymore. I cannot even imagine how smokers fair with COVID, must be miserable....and frightening!
Sorry this is a long post. I am glad to be back and look forward on catching up with everyone and helping where I can if someone needs some help
I never even sent Christmas Cards out this year......I just lost interest. We haven't even been able to see all the kids/grandkids..for weeks it seems. Oh let this all be over soon. And as far as the vaccine.....I think I will wait and see how you all do first , lol
Love ya all~Missy
