Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - July 12, 2022
Hello everyone,
The newsletter is a little later than usual - I am recovering from covid contracted earlier in June. My nose is still runny, my eyes tear up way more than normal (what a strange residual effect from the virus) and my sense of smell is at 80% or 1000%
I am also going on an international trip for about a month from mid-July to mid-August. Was wondering if bringing my laptop with me was a good idea (heavy, heats up, not insured) and decided that a Chromebook (lighter, longer battery life and insured in case I loose it) would be a better traveling companion
This newsletter will be for June and July and the next newsletter will be out September (I will update the calendar as I find cool classes on afore mentioned Chromebook)
In the meantime my resource document of the organizations I have signed up for newsletters are available in my dropbox account - PDF document
I found the page where you can apply to teach at Virginia Center for the Book
Stay well, creative and curious!

If a virtual/online workshop the times for other time zones will also be listed in the Description area along with a time zone converter
There is no difference between In-person1 (blue entries) and In-person2 (red entries) or Online1 (orange entries), Online2 (light teal entries) and Online3 (purple entries), just a way to visually separate workshops; pink entries are for festivals or conferences; yellow are public online meetings from various book arts guilds and museums; anything with ** are newly found workshops and events since the last newsletter was sent out
To change views in the calendar: on laptop/PC/tablet locate the 3 bar or hamburger button [≡] upper right corner and select .. Day .. Week .. Month .. Agenda, List - on cellphone locate 3 bar button and select the down arrow button to the left of it and make your selection as above

Look for magnifying glass on your screen to do a Search by state, town, instructor name, time zone, keyword, etc. If one class is sold out search for a keyword from that class to see if another is available, for example, "masu" or "Sheehy". Do use the organization's workshop calendar listed in each calendar entry to see other disciplines/mediums being offered

Musings and Meanderings
So I let my guard down and was extremely social for 5 days in early June and I am still not sure where I picked up the virus. I am just so grateful that even though Bill was with me throughout he was either asymptomatic or did not get it at all. I am also grateful that I was vaccinated and boostered. I took a test a day after I felt a sore throat coming on and thought that the hint of a line (more like a barely there shadow) was a negative result. Turns out I was wrong! I retested 4 days later and that 2nd red line was the brightest and ugliest red line I had ever seen. The sore throat went away after day 2 but then my nose got really runny leading me to believe I had allergies or a cold. I lost my sense of smell and taste completely for a day. I was actually using my memory of the food to imagine what it tasted like. That was such a strange day for me. Thank goodness for tissues with lotion - my poor nose would have been red and raw without this miraculous invention. I seem to have gotten away with the minimum of coughing and I wonder if my nightly nasal lavages helped. My sense of smell is still not quite 100% yet but then there are times when it feels like I can smell at 1000%. The other weird symptom that I had was that I started to tear up no matter what I was doing - talking, laughing, eating, sleeping. I would wake up with salt trails from the corners of my eyes. At any rate I tested negative 10 days after that 2nd test. I am very slowly going out again but am preferring to be outside if we are dining.
I will chat more about how the trip to Malaysia and Singapore goes. I can't wait but am also a little apprehensive. Wish me wonderful adventures.
See you in September!
