Quarantined

This corona virus has really taken off, sadly.  We have self quarantined due to the age of some family members.  This doesn't really change our day to day living like it has  most people.  Two of the four adults are essential people.

I have said if we get quarantined I'd spend my time putting together my new attic studio.  Uh huh.  That has not happened in the least.  At most I bought shelving to help with organization.  My son put it together for me.  Some boxes are off the floor.  A few shelves have books on them.  I'd like more time to be able to devote to it.

I have been doing a lot more cooking from scratch.  I found myself doing the same old same old.  So i devised a calendar for myself.  1 for breakfasts.  1 for lunches.  Supper is left overs or a quickie something.  Lunch is our big meal of the day.  I made a list of all the breakfast items we like and rotate them in sequence  Lunches are beef, pork, chicken, turkey, sausage, fish, meatless and the various meats get rotated  with starches potatoes, rice and pasta.  This forces me to look beyond the quick and easy for a meal.

This made me wonder if I could do the same with knit and crochet.  I have not yet considered the possibilities.  And I don't think I will.  More thought about this made me realize that this followed the same format as an Advent scarf or my Year in Stitches.  Too many things pull me that are required for day to day living and I can't make the time for that which I need to do.

I hope this finds everyone well.
