We are heading into week 6 of isolation in the State of Washington. Surreal time is flying.....

A glorious warm and sunny Spring day here! It lifts my mood.

This is what I'm wearing today. For at home, and walking Sam. I also walked to the pharmacy to get meds for the dermatitis on the left corner of my mouth. (I had an online virtual dermatologist app this morning which worked well). The dermatitis is nasty and getting worse. Looks like eczema, but isn't. It takes a month to go away. I had the exact same thing last year at this time. It is stress or allergy related. Nobody knows! Oh, well. It will pass and I'm fine

The daily drill for my AT HOME LOOK: shower, hair that is harder and harder to style and annoying me, some make-up, an outfit that panders to my feelings when I get dressed, at home only sneakers, and some important accessories.

Soooooo, you might remember that although I clean our loft daily, Friday I SCRUB the loft. So I selected a scrub-the-house outfit this morning:

• Old floral mesh dress that I adore. It has worn like iron, and looks new. It's very robust. Perfect for cleaning.

• Old denim jacket - 10 years old! - and a fave. Looks new, I tell you. Excellent quality. Great for outside in the mild weather.

• Apron and gloves for cleaning.

• YES. I clean in pearls. It's practical......

I mopped my anxiety away! WOW. Sooo effective!

My spirts are high! Washington's and California's COVID-19's curves are flattening due to very strict measures early. But we have also been at it longer than the East Coast because it started in Seattle. The East Coast will get there too. I'm sure of it. Everyone has to hang in there just a little longer.

I'm feeling strong, calm, energetic, positive, patient and centered. Staying at home all Easter weekend, of course. (That's how we can best help Seattle manage its healthcare system).

It's amazing how living like this has become our new normal. And our next normal will be new too.

Thanks for looking. I'm off to bake, cook, and walk Sam again! Have a lovely weekend. xo
