Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, I started this blog during quarantine and it is not something I ever expected to go through. Though I’m sure no one ever really thought this will be normal for the time being. It’s a little different for me, I’ve been unfortunately stuck in the house for about six months now since I had surgery in December. The feeling of being bored, sometimes lonely can get very real and overwhelming. 

Everyone is handling this whole situation differently and who is to really say what is the right or wrong way to handle everything. I have always been the type where i need to be busy, have something to do so this is a huge adjustment.  Since I was stuck in my house months before quarantine was put into place the mental struggle I  have been having has been a little different.  While I was recovering from surgery the only light at the end of the tunnel was making plans to do things once I was fully healthy. Now all of the going into the city, brunches, rooftop bars or dinners with friends i had been hoping to plan totally went out of the window right now.  

So what have I been up to now thats its going into month six that I have been stuck inside of my house. Well now that I am finally mobile and not in pain like I was recovering from surgery.  Well I have been coming up with lists of projects, things to keep me busy and productive. This blog has become one of those items which has allowed me to become productive and who knows where this could take me.  

Like everyone else I have watched a ton of TV, throwbacks to old series I watched ten years ago. I’ve watched a bunch of new things,  I started to draw again, something I haven’t done in probably eight years.  Cleaning and reorganizing has become second nature at this point.  

One thing that I have learned during all of this is, no matter how hard you try to plan or think you have things figured out something can always just remind you just how unpredictable life truly can be.  Hopefully once this all ends I will be able to maintain everything i’ve learned personally through everything.
