day 12

Bethan made banana pancakes again, pretty gloomy day today

Went to post my visa to Service Canada for EI. Every time I see the social distancing it takes me by surprise. I wonder if I’ll ever get used to it? Will people remember how to socialise normally when this (hopefully) comes to an end? Or will the fear of germs and being close to others be so deeply ingrained that elbow tapping will actually become the new age handshake

Didn’t let Isaac back inside after he started working on the van so I could make his cake in semi-secret. It’s hard to do surprise things for someone’s birthday when you’re isolated in a house with them

He’s putting the floor boards down… turns out I don’t actually like the colour of the stain even though he asked me yesterday if I did…… I am annoying

Did some yoga. Adriene is an angel sent from above

We spent all afternoon painting, it was peaceful. I am feeling grateful for all this spare time today, even if it is weird as soon as you leave the house

I made a vegan ‘fish pie’ from a BOSH recipe, but not vegan because I couldn’t find soy cream in Fresh Street (shock). I would rename it a mushroom shepherd’s pie, nothing fishy about it

Watched Pirates of Caribbean. Sent Isaac to bed so we could set up some semi-secret decorations for his bday tomorrow. Everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday, even if we are in isolation. I am so worried it’s going to suck
