Under House Arrest day 55

Today I had a lie in, well until 8.15 am which isn't bad for a Monday after a weekend at work. It's the 18th of May, it seems like a lifetime since our world was turned upside down and inside out by this virus. I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't think when the first three-week lockdown was introduced that it would be like this. Stupidly, I thought it would be just a short period of time that we would need to be locked down, now I'm beginning to think it will be for a very long time. Doubts creep in that it might not ever go back to what it was like before and I think mentally it will leave some long-lasting anxiety issues with most people. 
If yesterday I trod water,  today I had an up and at 'em attitude. I sorted out my craft trolley in the living room. The stuff that came on Saturday all put away but handy to be used when I need it. 
I have a create and craft parcel due from My Herpes, but although it said it would come today, I knew it would be tomorrow. They are really crap, I have no idea why large companies use them. I stopped using them ages ago when I was still making bath bombs and soaps. 
I've started prepping another insert book ready for next month. I don't want the pages to stick together, so I'm painting the backgrounds now a couple at a time, then I will go in do stencil work and borders. 
I think like all my art journals my dialog will be good to look back on and see how much I've learned, improved, and maybe a glimpse of how I was feeling at the time. 
On that note I'll finish for now. Take care...
