When we started Confessions of a Teleworker back in March, we had no idea how long it would last (blog? Pandemic? probably both). Honestly, our goal was to keep ourselves busy when we hit a major slow down in fundraising and to stay in touch, even though this was a lot of one-way communication.
We tried to relate, to share our ideas and to make you smile. Would you believe it that we’ve posted 52 blogs and had over 12,100 unique visitors? Thank you for continuing to click, read and laugh with us.
Our fun little project is going to take a break for the holidays. We wish you and your families the best - stay warm, stay safe and stay SANE!
If you need to do some last minute shopping, we thought we’d end with a list of local stores that you can support that also offer curbside pick up. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
