Slowing down Sunday.....

Sunday evening slow stitching is crochet. It is a nice way to relax while waiting for the kids to return from Grandma's. A friend stopped over to pick up some TP that hubby was able to grab at work yesterday. She went to 4 places with no luck so I had texted  hubby if they had any at his work. (Grocery store) They did not... but a truck came in and he was able to grab a package for her before he left work yesterday. He was nice enough to also bring me some fresh tomato, cucumbers, lettuce, potato and onions as well as some lactaid milk and eggs. Emily does love her potato salad and now we can make her some.  Sarah stopped by and picked up her tp this afternoon and we chatted at a nice social distance for a couple of hours without and kids around. It was so nice.... I had not chatted with her in a while! Just like that it was 5PM! A call to Mom and Dad and then a nice salad for dinner and it was time to settle in and crochet for a bit.

The kids have 1 more day of their 'spring break'. Tuesday they will start a new chapter for quarter 4 of their schooling. This week, they will be pointed to some normal on-line things they can study and next week their virtual schooling will start. We will find out more of how that will work later this week.
Until then it is 'normal' at my house. I work 20 hours a week from home, hubby works part time at a grocery store and also has one day a week for his pool cleaning business. Things are changing day to day here in Florida but we are rolling with the 'new normal' as best we can.


Linking up with the Slow Sunday stitchers.

this new normal is crappy isn't it. I am pretty much home all the time now and will only go out if I absolutely have to - we all have to be careful don't we. Your lucky your hubby works at the store and can grab what you need before coming home!
What stitch are you using on the blanket

If one has to stay home then crocheting your pretty is a lovely way to do it. Fortunate you are able to work from home and fabulous too that your husband works in the grocery store. You will never have to fight tooth and limb over a roll of toilet paper. =)

We did a grocery run during early opening senior hours this morning and
no TP :(000) but I did score some kleenex and some fresh produce as well as dairy half and half...shelves were pretty barren...but it is what it is...

when first married, we were on a pretty limited budget, so we do have experience in making meals and using leftovers...

I am trying to cobble my RSC pieces together into a whole piece...and asking myself "why an I doing this?" I already have a ton of UFO's in my drawer and in my closet...I need to choose a project...cannot seem to settle on anything lately...too much going on...anyway--glad to hear that all is going well in your neck of the woods...
stay safe--- hugs from afar Julierose

Glad to hear you are figuring it out! It is such a shock to have our lives turned upside down. But I think about what it had to be like for my parents in Europe during WW2 and then they decided to take an offer from America to move and work there. So many hardships they had, so I really have nothing I should be complaining about. I used to crochet years ago, but I think it would bother my hands now.
