LOCKDOWN DIARY-Day 24 ~ Greek Easter Day

​I used to paint eggs (chicken and ostrich)… never as intricate as this, but they were still beautiful, I thought.  I would love to do some again… but will have to wait until lockdown is over to get hold of some paints.  I’m not sure what I have would be bright enough. Maybe I will try if I can ever find time in-between cooking, cleaning house and everything else!
 
April 19
In my mind, yesterday was Greek Easter, because I was so close to my Greek family on the day… today was a very quiet day.  I woke with some gout pain in my left thumb still and also in my left foot… I had to be very careful of how I walked on the foot and made sure to drink a lot of fluids… also took some LifeTone’s Acid Clear which helped.  I was actually aching all over, but the thumb and foot were bordering on a real “acute gout-threat” areas, but thankfully it never came to that. 
 
My church leader called sometime during the day to check up that all was well and to see if we needed anything… I appreciated that very much.  But what a busy day of answering WhatsApp messages and calls, etc.  It was never ending… I’m not complaining at all… the company was great and good for me too… but, I’m just glad it doesn’t happen every day, because then I’d definitely get nothing done then. 
 
I vacuumed our rooms… something I usually find help to do, due to vacuuming kicking up dust and my son and I each having allergies that affect our sinuses and lungs.  But it had to be done!
 
My little sister video called so that I could chat with my dad… he wanted to wish me Happy Easter, so that was really lovely.  I managed to catch a snapshot of him laughing while he was talking to me… it is beautiful.  Of course, he can’t hear a word I’m saying, but at least we’ve found our own way to communicate and I love it!

​Thank you.
