Replaced the couch pillows. Glad they passed muster. #dogsofinstagram #essentialnapper #gotwashablecoversthistime #foolmeonce #DumsRulestheCouch (at Valley Forge National Historical Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA299riDkbN/?igshid=1ol2kwzy04v8y

Biggest shout out ever to my little sister @fern_pittman, an ER nurse who's been "deployed" to the "front line" as the administrator for a large drive-through #COVIDTesting site on the east coast. I trust her judgement and her experience. Nurses are not soldiers and this is not a war. I'll say this: battling nature is how we got here. I respect her and I respect the limits and deep care this virus is imposing upon us, I respect the exponential graphs of how steep the learning curve is for us now as well. I grieve that caregivers like nurses are critically underpaid and undervalued in our world and no amount of pot banging or photoshop will make up for that. But as a kind of modern folk art offering, here are some photos inspired by all the real glitterati including some work from @sara.h.nicotra who is making cheerful collages for #essentialworkers, just send her a DM. I made the glitter ones using the @meitu.app. ⠀ ⠀ I wonder what my mom who was also an RN would think about all this. I included her here as well. Along with Kevin, who is an #essentialnapper and is *extremely tired* of all of us invading his space. ⠀ ⠀ #CovidTestingSite⠀ #EssentialWorkers⠀ #COVIDNurse⠀ #MeituApp⠀ #COVID19⠀ #Coronavirus⠀ #Nurses⠀ #CareWork⠀ #Caregiving⠀ #CatsofInstagram⠀ #NursesofInstagram⠀ #StaySafeStayHome⠀ #StayHome https://www.instagram.com/p/B_swWPmAsEW/?igshid=1do82l5pb91mg
