Art Collaborations Apr. 21 – Today seemed to be a unique day as we started our afternoon with art projects, we sat down to just chat and do art. Two weeks ago I created a sort of game where we would each choose two colours from our pencil crayon box, and we would each contributeContinue reading “Lockdown Day 26”

Lockdown Day 25
Caged Dessert Apr. 20 – I’ve been avoiding the kitchen for a little bit. I was getting slightly resentful that most nights Selmo and I would be the ones making dinner and in the morning I would be clearing out dishwashers and tidying up again. 3 days a week I’m up early to do PilatesContinue reading “Lockdown Day 25”
Lockdown Day 24
Creating Abundance Apr. 19 – Today I started a 21 day meditation program with a handful of other Ikemban’s. Trying to stay grounded and okay has been getting a little tougher each day. As lucky as I am to be here, being away from friends and family is getting a little harder. I miss seeingContinue reading “Lockdown Day 24”
Lockdown Day 23
Global Citizen Apr. 18 – There are now over 2 million recorded cases of Covid-19 infections and over 150K deaths. It’s crazy to think that in February the majority of us were oblivious to this, only hearing about a virus that was like the flu. Who could have known what an impact it would make!Continue reading “Lockdown Day 23”
Lockdown Day 22
Apr. 17 – Left the house for the first time in 8 days and it was glorious! It makes such a difference to just be out of the house and walking somewhere. The concept of going outside is slowly becoming foreign to me. As we were about to leave I realized I was ready toContinue reading “Lockdown Day 22”
Lockdown Day 11
New Hobby OR Losing My Sanity Apr 6 – I have a desk dragon named Darby. He adds some colour and cuteness to my desk, provides stress relief and also helps clean my laptop screen. My housemade noticed him on my desk and from that we went onto a conversation about The Tiny Chef ShowContinue reading “Lockdown Day 11”
Lockdown Day 10
Escapism Apr. 5 – I’ve given into TV. I was doing so good with keeping myself occupied and not watching shows, but I just binged The Mandalorian and it was great. I’ve felt such a need to keep doing things and feeling productive, and hustling, but I’m not quite sure who I’m doing it for.Continue reading “Lockdown Day 10”
Lockdown Day 9
Learning to Slow Down Apr. 4 – It was a lazy day spent working on a 1000 piece puzzle of a water hole from the Museum of Natural History. Most of it is shades of brown, so it’s definitely a test in patience! But it was also interesting to notice that I still haven’t quiteContinue reading “Lockdown Day 9”
Lockdown Day 8
Lockdown Loss Apr. 3 – Today I had a call with a client and I was given the news that my hours would be cut in half. I’d honestly been waiting for this, as I know many friends have taken wage cuts or even lost their jobs, so this wasn’t truly a surprise for me,Continue reading “Lockdown Day 8”
Lockdown Day 7
Siren Scares Apr. 2 – This was the first day I awoke to the sounds of police sirens here. It was a little startling, in these quiet streets, the sound is amazingly loud. I had seen articles about violence against individuals who were out on lockdown in Johannesburg and my mind went to the worst.Continue reading “Lockdown Day 7”
