I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.
Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.
I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.

Something I Really Like:
Liquid stevia—escape from all the phony sweeteners. Pretty cheap on Amazon, considering that you only use a few drops at a time.
Put a Lid on It:
Hot cocoa without guilt: 1/2 tsp cocoa powder, 4 drops liquid stevia, pumpkin pie spice to taste.
Put all this into a blender cup and add as much hot water as you like. Blend in blender (I like a bullet blender for this.) until frothy. Enjoy.
Blather:
Rainy weekend + flooding= cleaning and crafting.
Weight loss and fasting: Down 15 pounds in 3 weeks.
Digital cleaning: scanning and shredding more outdated files
Project G: back on the rails again.
Daily House projects:
Back to the shredder.
