2020 So Far.....

My prayers and thoughts are going out to everyone in this horrible, scary time.

Since I am mostly a homebody, I've adjusted well to the stay home order.  Besides the diabetes problem, I had to isolate part of 2019 due to low blood counts and iron and am more susceptible to infections now. I'm not yet 60, but will be part of the population included in the extended stay home order when things start opening up thanks to my health issues and I am o.k. with that.  

I have only gone out twice since this all started.  The first time was the second morning at the very beginning (before the order) to go to the store for food and supplies, and once two weekends ago for a short ride. (I stayed in the car that time) It was decided that I will not do the shopping or errands since I am in the higher risk category thanks to health issues.  Pat dons his mask and heads out early one or two mornings a week for our supplies and stuff. I make a list of things/supplies I need and he gets them. He's doing a great job and taking good care of me.

So, my days are spent in the house, cooking, and doing some housework with my husband's help. There's also my back exercise routine to do every other day.  

There's been lots of crafting going on (which is normal for me).  Spinning, knitting, crochet, and cross stitch projects have all seen a bit lot love and attention.  2020 is the year of only using stashes for everything. My last yarn purchase was in November on Black Friday (Holst Garn in Denmark).  There was a braid of fiber added to the stash in February, as well as a couple of Russian cross stitch kits (ordered in December).  

I'm looking forward to the warmer weather so I can sit on the deck under the canopy and craft soon.  Maybe even get out some dyes and play a bit.  :)
