Hi, my name is Patty and I love art. I was known as "keirajo" over on Fur Affinity, but I have chosen to leave that site permanently as of April 30, 2015. About my username..."Keira-Jo" was an Echidna female I created for a Sonic the Hedgehog fan club back in 1996. When the fan club disbanded I used her in fan-fiction I wrote. She's been a big part of my life for a very long time, so I often use her name or image as my avatar when I am online anywhere.

It was given that our "staff can still work" and our attempt at offering a curbside service for Library patrons probably would be cut. Due to the announcements from government officials today--all non-essential services are to be cut in our state. The Library is considered non-essential, so as of today--my workplace is now closed to staff AND public. There are things to get through, but so far they are saying we will be paid for the time off--if you have the vacation or sick time to take. It is now currently expected to last through April 7th.

I do. Some of my co-workers don't. It's a frightening time for many. And me, I'll probably go crazy by Monday. I'm not designed to be stuck at home when it's unplanned. I'm trying to think of things to do, so...........we'll see if I can find enough to do and not go crazy by April 7th.

I hope you all stay well and can manage to still get an income in these trying times--my heart and wishes go out to you all!
