Second Blanket Progress

So I started another blanket, it's been a week and a half, and i've been taking pictures daily or almost daily to save my progress. 

 

 

 

The last picture is from yesterday, May 10. I missed a few days of pictures but you can see the growth. 

I'm using a stitch called the Alpine stitch, which is really pretty and an amazing texture. 

My cat Neptune really likes the blanket too.

 

                        

     

Oh where has the energy gone?

Remember at the beginning of this whole thing? The two days leading up to spring break where everyone was talking about how they might cancel school for 2-6 whole weeks?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

Well look how that turned out. First it was 2 weeks, including spring break. Then four, then 5, then just... cancelled all together. 

And I don't know of a single person that I know who has said "I'm absolutely loving quarantine!"
Because it wasn't all fun and games like a lot of people thought it was. It gets exhausting. No change in your day to day life. And that's taking a toll on my work too. I don't feel like doing work anymore. I've got no motivation, but I'm keeping up because I feel like I have to. It's not fun, it's not easy, if I can keep going by lunch time it's a good day. 

Then I move on to different things. 

We just got a car for me to be able to drive once I get my license so we've been working to clean it which isn't that awful. I enjoy when things are clean and look nice and when I know I put work in to make it like that. 

I started another crochet blanket which I will probably start a post on, I learned a new stitch and I'm making this one bigger. Currently it's as wide as my bed is long. So it'll be fun. And take a lot of time. 

And as for videos........................................
I lost motivation again. I'm working on them but I also forgot to take pictures for some of them and thus I can't make thumbnails. 

Quarantine mood? Surviving.
