dual personalities

Did you have a nice weekend? While I continue to swing in mood, I would say overall that I have settled in to the isolated lifestyle, particularly on Friday afternoons (freedom from work!) and Saturday mornings. This is truly my vibe when I tackle my domestic chores:

What is it about vacuuming that is so satisfying?

Other small pleasures this weekend included opening the windows, baking another batch of blueberry muffins, walking outside, doing a mud mask, taking a nap, and folding laundry while watching Three Men and A Baby. I have also gotten the nursery/home office more organized with each passing week, with some new and old touches. I am especially grateful for all of the vintage items my mother has passed on to me from my own childhood, as well as her own!

This bunny is at the entrance to the room — an original relief print made by a family friend

Pretty soon, I might move this plant outside, as it’s a bit large for this dresser top…

I spy Winnie the Pooh & Piglet, plus silver cups and other baby mugs

These little touches make me very happy. Not pictured are the absent piles of random items that have piled up in this room — we are finally finding homes for various shelves, linens, etc.

As ever, my iPhone takes terrible photos in the low light of our apartment. However, DN received a fancy camera for his birthday and promises to help me up my blog and Instagram game.

I am glad he has a new hobby acceptable for social distancing.

And so we chug along into our fourth week of quarantine and telework! Hang in there, perhaps with some motivation from QEII, quoted in the title.
