Quarantine 2020, March 24 / Day 12 of Quarantine / Life in Isolation

Here I account my tale of woe . . .


Just kidding, all is well at my house.  Being that my seasonal job is off during winter, the quarantine life has been my daily for four and a half months previous to the Sick.  (Note: I will refer to Corona/Covid as the Sick for my own pleasure) 

I consider Fri. March 13th the official beginning of our family's quarantine journey.  That day, or perhaps the Thursday before, my mother and I went to the store to get the essentials we didn't have.  We have a good amount of food storage to live on, but we still wanted a few fresh things while we could get them.

We were given a blessing of help in being able to afford our groceries with the help of a friend who is more financially stable.  In that way, God has helped us, this is only one example. 

I've been trying to pass along hope when I can on social media, keep the positive news circulating while letting the negative get buried.  I made a list of entertainment to share with people as well.

Master List of Entertainment

As April approaches, I worry that I might not start working again on April 1st.  I was offered to work at Morrison's as a trainer, as well as a laundry attendant.  The position implements many ideas I had expressed during the last summer, and it excited me.  It would also allow me to get more hours, and more paid.  Now with this illness, I don't even know if we will still be setting up the lodge in April.

All is not lost, I still have faith.  I have been learning about running a business through the church's self-reliance class.  The Sick has made it so our class now meets through Google Hangout, of which we have had only one meeting since the Sick.  I get very anxious about all the running a business involves, and I'm not 100% sure still if that is my path.  I'm also not sure if all the things I'm supposed to do really apply to my photography business.  I don't plan on being more than just myself, and I think I could find my own approach that works just as well.

Anyways, thoughts are my thoughts for now.

I've seen suggestions that we journal during our quarantine, to have something to add to the history books later on.  I'll try my best to return here to keep track of this time of my life.

Last week, the first full week of isolation, I had planned to do several different things.  However, I did get appears the cold.  It's possible it could have been the sick, but there isn't a way for me to know at his point.  I also don't fancy the idea of having a giant Q-tip being stuck up my nose, so it may remain a mystery for all time.  At any rate, I survived.  I'm still a little congested but feel my old self again.  So this week I'm going to get back to doing things.

I cleaned up my room and vacuumed.  I bought my own vacuum with my tax return, and now that we are in lockdown at least we can still keep floors cleaner.

  1. I'm glad you are getting help when you need it. Tough to not know about your job starting up again on time :(

Summer fly was buzzin' . . .

At long last, Oregon has decided it's time for summer. Or it at least thinks it should be warmer. Oregon has strange weather. Yesterday I went on a hike at a local trail and it was nice. There was a lot of bright flowers, and a beautiful waterfall. I'll post some pictures soon, along with some others I've taken recently. My photography class is officially over, and so I have nothing I can tell people so they don't think I'm some lazy bum. (Which is true, but people don't need to know that.) So that's all, I just thought I should make a post, I haven't done it in a while.

Now The Parties Over, But Don't Abandon Ship Just Yet

I don't know how many have been following my 365 photo challenge, but it is finito!  So does that mean the end of my blog? Nah.  I'll still be around, here are a few things you might be seeing in the near future. Instead of a daily photo, I hope to bring you the best photos of the week, month.  Anyway you look at it, there will be photos. Do you ever wonder what all those functions are for on your camera?  I've come across many people who don't know how to use their cameras beyond AUTO.  Thus I will be debuting "Stepping out of the Little Green Box".  Each post will focus on one feature, so you can learn without getting data overload.  I'll keep it interesting and short, because let's face it. In this day and age, we want out information short and sweet. Do you have any suggestions, questions?  Put a comment down below and I'll answer you.

It's coming, just two day left . . .

The world of NANOWRIMO is about to unfold. It will be my second try, and hopefully I'll do better then I did in 2007. Here is my potential story I'm going to work on. Summary: A friend with a passion for science has developed an unheard of feat, a time machine. That's right, H. G. Wells for reals. Nadie volunteers for the job of a lifetime. The first person to travel through time. Numbered among other great explorers such as Lewis and Clark. With Regency Era England as her destination, will Nadie keep suspicion from the curious eyes? And . . . when a realization comes, will she be able to make the right choice?
