I know you can do it! 

I saved the sleeve. But I’m never going to wear this thing. LOL. It’s so itchy. Like wearing a bag of bees...🤪

I'm sure your one-sleeve sweater is just lovely! Photos?

Tomorrow. I’ll try to save the sleeve and try again 😂😅 

Finished my first and, very likely, only sweater, knitted by myself. 
now assembly needed to be done. So far so good. Sleeves were a bit tricky, so I had to loosen the stitches a bit. Unfortunately I didn’t wear my glasses when using the scissors...

so, bye-bye sleeve 1. 

UAGH! 

I really can’t say. It all feels unreal. My second shot will be in June. It’s Astra Zeneca, so that’s normal to have a longer time between shots. 
I just hope something, anything will be open again by then. We’re still in a lockdown. 
I miss eating something that I didn’t have to cook. I miss being able to work. 
Having friends over for drinks. 
 

It’s just sad. 
i always had the radio on, at work, background music. And whenever a song came, that I loved or new music , that sounded interesting 

I turned up the volume. I didn’t work for almost a year.

Reading was always my greatest joy in life, and I've had a very hard time reading anything at all for the past year.  I'm considering this just a year out of time, we'll all adjust (or not) eventually, and learn how to live in the new normal.

I did it all.,

Reading, knitting, crocheting, talking walks. Just to occupy my mind. 

Most of the year we were not allowed to open our business. It’s hard to adjust to any situation when you struggle to pay rent.

It's not just you. I have felt the same for months. It's a bit of an effort, to put music on...which is weird and ridiculous, because once I do, my mood is always lifted. 

I'm also finding that I'm currently drawn to more introspective, "quieter" music. It feels like I'm mentally holding back the more boisterous stuff for happier days. The new administration gives me hope that we are headed back in the right direction, but we aren't out of dark times yet. So certain music seems to suit better. Jeff solo, David Berman, Kevin Morby...

Have your listening habits changed in this last year?

Yes! They did change a lot. If I listen at all it’s mostly music that I was happy to hear live, or with special people in my life. 
Like Trampled by Turtles playing a Warren Zevon song. I was at their show in Brooklyn with S. and he told me about Warren Zevon and about this special song. It’s “Keep me in your heart for a while”. 
I listen to this song when I need to go back to this evening.... 

or certain Wilco songs...

I hear ya. I probably don't spend as much time listening to music but a lot of that could be from not having a commute to work anymore. When I do listen to music, I think my habits have changed,  at least a bit, it's less about hearing great new albums and more about those old comforting albums that I know and love. I suspect that's probably from the uncertainty in the world. 🤷‍♂️

Right! If I hear music it’s just songs and albums that mean something to me or were special in a certain situation. 
i just hope we all can experience special situations again soon. 

Maybe is ist just me. But the longer this lockdown/ not being able to work/ being stuck at home state continues the harder it gets to find comfort in music. 
music has always helped me through difficult times, but I hardly listened to any music in months. 

Ok. This will be my new Sunday task😂

Just solved the mini crossword on NYT and now starting spelling bee. ☺️

Sleeping. Getting out of the way of all the Valentine’s crap. Maybe a book.
