Self isolation - Day 21

I have been in my house for 21 days now.  It has rained most of the time, four inches more than normal for the year.  I have been working on the same painting for some time and must admit to unbelievable boredom where it is concerned (which makes total sense actually).  I have only used two colors for the most part and, well, what can I say...I think it works, but it is tedious.  It truly takes perseverance on my part to put the thing on the table every day.  I can hardly wait to begin something new.  But, I figure I am about a week out from finishing it.  That is what I am telling myself anyway.  So, what else have I done.  Read the news.  Washed my hands till they are raw.  Washed down groceries.  Facetimed with family.  Finished a few books - four actually.  And painted.  Oh yes, and cooked.  I don't cook.  This has been touch and go:   spaghetti sauce - good; pot roast - good; chicken - inedible.  I guess two out of three isn't too bad.  We had some frozen dinners thank goodness.  We will continue to experiment.  I do make decent bread though, so that has not been a problem. I did get good news when I received notification that my entry had been accepted in the Watercolor USA 2020 exhibit.  That was a highlight indeed.  The highlight today was that the sun was out, the boxwoods are trimmed and I can watch the birds at the birdbath from my window.  So a beautiful day and a horrible day.  I suppose that sums up pandemic life.  Back to my brushes.
