Temperature Blanket

Yesterday I picked up my temperature blanket for the first time since November I think.

I haven’t added to it for ages.

It has sat in its bag while we had everyone’s birthdays and Christmas.

But actually the last few days I have felt a bit meh about everything.

So after everyone went to bed, instead of catching up with everything that I don’t get to do in the day I decided that actually would stop and do something that I like to do.

Something that isn’t work, or stressful or a job. Whether it was Tropic, the blog, or stuff in the house I just wanted to do something that I like to do.

So I picked up my knitting and carried on with my temperature blanket.

I am really behind with my knitting and am actually still knitting the temperatures from July so I may be knitting this blanket for a while longer yet.

But it was really lovely to chill out and do nothing for a little while and just get on with something I love to do.

Some knitting.

It was definitely something my brain needed and I went to bed feeling a lot calmer last night, and have woken happier and calmer.

It has also meant we have got so much more done today. I have tidied the house, not yet hoovered as you know too many lessons going on. But everything else is tidy, the washing is done and I have managed to get some Tropic work done while the kids are working.

Which means I feel less stressed, which is always a bonus.

Hopefully I can keep working on the blanket as I have so many days to do and it will give me an escape in this madness that is lockdown 3.0.

What are you doing for a bit of relief from all of this?
