It's been a month of this...

Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well and staying safe. It has been exactly one month ago today that I started to work from home and practice social distancing. I remember the Sunday before on March 15th, I left my parent's house to go get some groceries and hopefully find some toilet paper (I did not) and then head home to work at home that first week. I was worried about the virus, we still didn't know at that time how bad this would be. I was looking forward to working from home for a few weeks, then a few weeks turned into what feels like forever. I haven't been going out much at all, just a handful of walks around my neighborhood and to get takeout once a week and get groceries. I miss seeing my family and shopping and living a normal life. Now each day goes into the next. I have no idea what to expect the next couple of months, if this will end or it will continue. My wedding has been postponed now until October, it started to get more clear that we could not keep our wedding date in May. I was so sad at first about it, then I accepted the turn of events. It is also for the best as it was getting worse, we knew we couldn't ask our guests to travel and to attend during these circumstances.

I've been keeping busy by starting to knit another one of the Merry Fair Isle ornaments pattern from Patons. I really love making these and at this uncertain time, it really helps me to knit Christmas ornaments because that time of the year everything feels peaceful and its so comforting to me. I love how this pattern is turning out so far and I chose this one to knit because it looks like an Easter egg pattern and I started it last week leading up to Easter. I am using four size 3.25 mm double pointed needles and using yarn by Loops & Threads called Joy DK I bought in December last year to knit the other ornament.

I have been continuing to read both Good Morning, Good Life by Ana Schmittauer Landino and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. Both are so enjoyable to read right now and to motivate me to keep working on my goals. I really want to read The Testaments by Margaret Atwood soon, this whole pandemic and how our lives have turned upside down keeps making me think of The Handmaid's Tale and how they had to suddenly adapt to a horrible new reality.
