The world sure has become a different place in the space of less than a year!
Although I did not travel for work, we would travel internationally yearly... sometimes twice a year, so it feels quite strange to not have that kind of freedom any more! I wish I had been so lucky to have had the option to see Caysie and Hisano regularly! Although I have never worked with her, I have long admired her work. I went through a pearl phase long before I hit the diamond and bling phase and have my fair share of pretties from PP!
Perhaps one day the world will settle to the point where it is possible to travel freely again.
I got exposed to covid-19 at work recently. As Australia is fortunate to have quite low numbers, this was worrying for everyone. They ended up locking down 70(!) of us front line health care workers due to this exposure, and for 2 weeks I was in isolation. Luckily I did not come back as positive despite repeated tests and remained asymptomatic.
During this period, I locked myself up in an empty house sans bling.
Just 14 days without earrings, and I felt my piercings had grown so much smaller that it was difficult for me to put my usual diamond studs back in! They do have thicker posts, but 2 weeks?!
I’m glad to hear that your piercings too, have healed so that you do not need to consider repair of them! The problem is... now what? How will you wear your beautiful earrings? Will you slowly stretch them back out to the point where you can just put the wires through again?
My piercings are slightly smaller than they used to be, but with a bit of wriggling, I can still get them through right now. It took a long time to stretch them far enough that these posts didn’t hurt me to begin with, so I don’t want to go through that again!
P.S. although I haven’t worn much bling at home this year, back when I was studying, I sure did!! It would cheer me up for sure. Fabulous earrings, rings, I wore them ALL!

I hope everyone who wasn't as lucky is doing okay now!!
