Usually for the start of the month I write a quick look back and plan ahead post. This year I had the idea of working on three areas each month – learning a new skill, reading more (instead of scrolling more) and diving deep on a Skillshare topic. That worked well for the first beginning months of the year, but for late March and all of April, that wasn’t a good fit.
I’m lucky – I was able to work from home, not lose my paycheck and Mr. SuzerSpace and I were able to really follow the guidance of staying at home to minimize our exposure to the Coronavirus.
It wasn’t a month of normal crafting and learning. Instead, it was a time of really new challenges.
In April I:
Sewed facemasks .
And even more facemasks . Actually, this one doesn’t involve any sewing!
Had groceries delivered. As a picky eater this was harder than it should be. But I am forever appreciative of essential workers like those at the grocery and liquor stores and the delivery gig workers who kept us safe.
Cut my own hair. I have really short hair and while it grows fast and is pretty forgiving I found it hard to find a good video since most seem to show long hair which would be much easier to reach and see what you were doing. I found this one helpful, even though I don’t own a clipper or thinning shears.
Took a class on reading medical studies.
Learned how to jump start a hybrid car. Turns out if you don’t drive it for 6 weeks the 12 volt battery discharges and it won’t start. It’s slightly trickier than jumping a standard car.
Worried a lot. And then began to worry about my worrying. I found this helpful and reassuring.
So what does May hold? We will have to see. I bet it’s interesting😉.
