Life in Lockdown Part 2

Well, at this point I'm just doing things to distract myself rather than entertain myself. The things that used to entertain me now bore me because I either do them too much or I'm just doing them to waste time, not because I actually want to be doing it. It's just things like painting my nails, I can't be bothered to do it because I do it too much now. Even Youtube, playing games, exercise, and I hate to say it but reading my bible. It's all just to waste time until isolation is over. I don't really know what to do, but I'm just stuck in this circle of 'I'm going to be motivated and get stuff done today' and then actually just sit on my butt all day doing nothing. I can't get out of this 'I can't be bothered' attitude, but I really want to.

I'm writing my blog today, in hopes that I'll just be able to clear my head out a little bit, just outlay my thoughts and talk about what I've done, what I want to do and in the hopes of it helping me get off my butt, get off screens and do more productive stuff, so lets put some pictures out there of some of the things that have kept me occupied recently.

Well to start with, I've been on many a walk around the park, whether that be by myself, with one sibling or with the whole family. I even jogged around the park last Saturday with my eldest brother.

    

I've also done many a painting. Painting is another thing I want to start enjoying again. I haven't done any for a couple weeks, but I do want to do some again.

  

 

  

I've done other various things throughout the last month. We took a stroll around Crosby beach at one point. I've been painting my nails a lot, doing my henna; every other week I am recording worship for our streamed church services. My mum also got my sisters and I a cactus or succulent each.

    

And then, we've had my eldest brother's birthday last Saturday. We spent the day, mostly, down at the church playing games like human basketball. These are games we don't have room to play in the house, but the church has a lot of space we can play energetic games in, so that's what we did. My brother also spent some of the time making cheesecakes, below is his [very messy] Eaten mess cheesecake. It tasted delicious!

I think that's all the stuff I've done, apart from all that I've been watching stuff. I've just finished a magnificent series called Medici. It's based on the true events of the Medici family and the bank in Florence. Its a brilliantly well written and directed show and I sobbed at the end. I miss the show already. Another thing I've been 'rewatching' is Once Upon A Time. This show, although some of the storylines are very repetitive and the show can be stupid sometimes, I still love it. My younger sister has just started watching New Girl, which is also a great show if you want a good laugh. My older sister and I watched it ages ago and we still love it and laugh at the jokes every time.

Over the next few days, I'm going to try and stay off Netflix and Youtube as much as possible because I want to be doing other things. I have actually also got a little bit of college work to do, so that needs to get done, but also I just want to get off my butt and do something other than stare at a screen, otherwise, I might be addicted to my phone at the end of this isolation and that is not something I want.

Well, this is the end of... Whatever this post was supposed to be. I hope you liked it, or if you didn't then, whatever. I'll probs just keep doing these monthly updates. I mean, hopefully, we'll be out of quarantine by next month, but until then...
