100! That's right, this marks the official day 100 that we have been in quarantine. Not as many days as most of the world, but the US was, and still is, behind the curve. So we are counting the days from when Karen started working from home. And like most everyone, we are sick of it, but committed nonetheless. We all have to be. I am looking online for some new masks since I am sick of the paper masks and looking for something more interesting.
Karen's job still bites big time. She is having good days and bad, and we often talk it out and I try to provide grounding and perspective for her. I'm doing pretty well. I am on to another model project, a Space:1999 Eagle model, the large 22" version:
I've assembled it into sub assemblies and started the painting yesterday. Spent about 2 hours doing it and, despite the majority of it being white, I am taking my time and trying to do it slowly. I was painting the smaller pieces first and have not even moved on to the majority of the painting, which will be just white. I still have not found a light grey primer that will not require 4 coats of paint to cover it, yet still bring out details, so I am just using a white primer as an experiment to see how the details come out. I've ordered a few greys, but I'm still waiting for them to arrive.
Today I need to go to the pharmacy, get groceries, prep dinner, do laundry, and paint. Phew! I'm feeling energetic and pretty good right now. I'm hoping it holds because I realized yesterday that I feel pretty good. It's been a while, so it took me a moment to realize what this almost giddy feeling I was having was. :-) I'm still feeling good and am determined to keep this going. Maybe that light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train after all! ;-)
So, much love and happiness to you all on this beginning of a new week. I hope you each find some amazing things to help you through these times. Love you all. **MWAH**
