The second part of the mini wants us to create a story about preparing and traveling to space.
From March mini rules:
Once you have everything you need to get ready, tell us a little story, why don't you?
A little anticipation on what you expect to encounter in your preparations, or your travels. Maybe a crazy mishap during your travels, maybe a totally wonderful yet incredibly unbelievable romance....
If any of you are reading books that won't fit in part 1 of the mini but can think how to use the title (or parts of it) in a story, let me know! Writing is definitely one of my weakest points😅.

WD4 (7 Blue📘) -Lover Unleashed - LaurLa
I don't know that I'm going to get to these this month.
WD4 (7 Red📕) - could be covered by So Tough to Tame which is already complete on the spreadsheet by me - unless someone else has a red 7 to cover it.
WD4 (7 Blue📘) - Three Things I Know Are True actually has enough blue (per tinyeye) to use if no one else has one. I think Su Ah read it?

Yep, I read that one, but I don't think it had enough blue

Tineye says it does, if we're going by that. But it's pretty close and depending on the computer being used I think.
Maybe someone else will have a Blue 7.

Franziska, you be especially careful, please!


So, I'm trying to stay inside as much as possible, unfortunately, I work in a science field and we are still expected to work as much as possible. Thankfully I work in a university and my instructor has asked us to stay home and not come in unless it's absolutely necessary:)

Oh no! You better fix that!🤣🤣

I'm doing good, but it still feels kind of unreal. We have 89 confirmed cases here in Minnesota. I don't have work anymore, nor in person classes. Everything was moved online, and it's kind of weird that this is how I'm ending my university years. I'm a little sad that they canceled the commencement ceremonies. With all that's going on, it's been a little hard to concentrate on school work. Sadly, they have closed public libraries here as well :( On the bright side, I'm getting a lot of time for reading, so that's been good.
I hope everybody is okay! Everybody be careful and safe :)

oops! Sorry :-)

Is this cover yellow enough to be used as a yellow?

Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

My husband works in a large grocery store so I am really worried about his high level of exposure to the public, and hence the virus.
Right now I am off for a long weekend, so I don't have to think about work for a few days - and I can get a lot of reading done. 😆

I think your job should count as an essential service. My dog is elderly, and we had a very big scare about 6 weeks ago. I was wondering if veterinary services would be available in case something happens. I sure hope they continue to be available. Pets are family too.

Well, of course I agree, but there are a lot of non-animal people out there who probably wouldn't. Farm animal vets are essential without a doubt, with all the industrial animal farming that goes on (that I try not to participate in, but that is another topic.). We only see pets.
