Hello, how are you?
It's been 119 days since I started with that question.
Good enough, not fine.
I don't say fine anymore.
Sometimes tired.
Sometimes discouraged.
Sometimes happy.
I have been angry.
There have been some really hard days, some of the hardest ever.
And days that were joyful.
Sometimes I say, "I am really happy to see you."
I picked 119 for the "19" in COVID 19. At the start I thought mid August, it will either be over. Or not. We aren't even close to over.
This morning I read an interview on NPR with a coronavirus researcher, Vineet Menachery:
"He'd be surprised 'if we're still wearing masks and 6-feet distancing in two or three years' and that in time, the virus could become no more serious than the common cold."
I have a plan for a new quilt:
6 feet by 6 feet in size.
Sort of log cabin type squares. They will be crooked.
A blue square for each center because when I think of a color for breath, I think of blue.
19 pieces of fabric per square. The fabric can be repeated in other squares but only used once per square.
There will be hearts in the mix somewhere (19?).
No new supplies other than thread.
No time limit, but I will aim for one square per week.
Working title for now: "good enough" (for a category).
The colors will be joyful.
