Isolation Diary: You know what is hard for me? Thinking of everything I’m going to need for the next several days or week when I make an on-line order. I am not running out to stores for the odd item, and I so miss that. Maybe in a month, after I get my 2nd shot, I will feel okay about dashing out to Home Depot for a particular screw. Although, now that I think about it, any excuse NOT to visit Home Depot is welcome. Or going out specifically for a certain color thread. I have a lot of thread but somehow I rarely already have the right color. And…this frustration is even bigger than the on-line grocery shopping frustration….I want to shop for fabric. Lots of fabric available on-line but what is the real color? How does it feel? How does this look with that? Also, now that I’m talking about my yearnings…I want to visit Ikea to see if the set of large drawers they have will accommodate my collection of fabric. Which is now in bins and I am annoyed by that, because they are piled on top of each other and the lids are collapsing. And they are unsightly besides. And now that I’m thinking about what I miss and will be so happy to experience again….Running Charade parties!!! Okay, any party, but especially a Running Charades party. That might be a year away. Just appearing on the horizon.

I so relate to all of this-it really stifles the creativity if you can’t see & feel things in person, or stop for a moment of inspiration on impulse.

Lise H. Yes! So true. I am looking for something, my eye is caught by something out of category, perspective changes, ideas expand…..

Lise H.
Ruth Silveira exactly! I miss the little adventures.
