When I first heard about covid, my mind started racing. Coughing. Loss of smell. Highly contageous. Released on purpose. Inject bleach? Horse mdds? Shine a light ... up .. where?! Sorry...don't get me started.
But my main concern ...
See, my son had only a few months prior (mid-June 2019) been released from the hospital. He had had a brain surgery which caused a stroke, coma, and a plethora of side effects. He had to relearn to walk, talk, hold a cup, and much more.
If a pandemic quarantine / lockdown was going to happen, I needed to be ready.
Hygiene? Check. Food? Check. Extra seizure meds? Check. Water? Check. Projects and/or crafts to keep us busy? Uh, not nearly enough.
First, I figured I would just prep for six months or so. Then I went to the Dollar Tree store and got all kinds of things. I placed an order through Amazon. I got out six cardboard boxes and labled then by month.
Each got a snack or three, a book, a dvd or blu-ray disk, stuff to do a project (which he hated!), and so on. He got to choose one thing from the box every few days.
I ended up re-using the boxes as the quarantine dragged on. [I called them the "bored boxes"].
But all of this prepping made me think, so I excitedly researched and wrote 'The Bored Book". I ended up doing quite a few from my Bored Book list. Such fun!
The worst of the covid pandemic is over, but the way things look in the USA, we might still need a supply of Bored Boxes.
Plus this book can be used at home when recovering from a medical something, winter blizzards, or just about any time.
Let me know what you think. Vikki
