This has been a rough week. Odd, anxious, sleepless. So much so… that I am actually writing this several days late, and will backtrack it so it shows up on the appropriate date.

This week was weird. It was a series of those timeless days where you feel like you are walking through deep water, just to get anything done. And I did get things done. Surprisingly, looking back, I actually got several things accomplished… daily chores, daily postings, daily photos… and I made a couple nice little pieces of jewelry… and thought about items for the March Trunk Show coming up. But mostly, I watched old design shows on TV, watched jewelry making videos on YouTube, and watched the weather as it played out just outside my living room sliding doors. It’s had to believe a full year has passed since I went into self isolation due to covid-19. A year ago March 1st. And I’ve mostly, 95% of the time, been right here in our apartment. I’ve gone to the dentist, gone to the grocery store and post office on occasion… but really, I’ve been here. I am not a hermit by nature, at least not in the past… but there is peace, often, to be found in the solitude… and I don’t mind it.

I do look forward to being able to have coffee and food in cafe’s and restaurants, seeing live music… traveling. But.. like so many things, you don’t realize what you can survive, until .,, you do.

Below are photos I took this week… and some jewelry items I made this week.
