Lock Down Day 21: How are you doing with the lock down?

It's now exactly 3 weeks since our lock down in NZ. I know in many parts of the world, people have been in lock down for way longer. And I feel you my friends, I hear you! And I hope you're all doing well. I hope you're all staying happy and healthy.

I had been thinking to myself about what do I write tonight? There's quite a lot I would love to write, but like my dad would say, it's not yet the right time! He's an advocate of this thought that when the time is right things will unfold in unexpected ways for us. Much like how Paulo Coelho says "when you want something all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it". And I believe in that. So until I reach that time, let me just write a bit here and a bit there to just get the feel of writing, you know. Like how you'd like to just dip your feet in the cool water in winter (I cannot resist water, I have the urge to feel it as long as it's not frozen), waiting for it to be summer again before you can immerse yourself and swim in it.

So tonight I came up with this doodle-graph to show how I have been feeling through these days in quarantine inside my house. I have been analysing the final data for my thesis the past few days. All I can think of is how to plot my results sensibly and it's been driving me nuts. So with that in mind, I thought I might as well take a break to have some fun and also to make use of my untouched Acer Active Stylus!

As you can see, my mood is all over the place! Some days I'm happy and excited (in the yellow!), where as some other days I'm in the blues (literally!) and some other days, it's hard to figure out where the heck I'm in (in the orange!). But overall I think I can see a rhythm now, since day 10 - with alternating dips and highs. So I guess that's good news!!

Would you like to share how you've been feeling during this lock down? Come along and vent it all out! I look forward to hearing from you all :)

Until then take care everyone! Stay happy, healthy and safe!!
