quarantine diary | April 3, 2020 total covid-19 cases in the United States: 277,467. total covid-19 deaths in the United States: 7,402 is it still okay to celebrate things? my husband surprised me with a sewing machine today. I spent the day watching YouTube videos about how to thread a bobbin and sew a zipper and I even forgot about the global health crisis for a little while. I filed for unemployment the other day—I hope it’ll come through but I know the system is overwhelmed and there are people who need it a lot more than I do. I’m going to start making masks tomorrow. . . . . . #learntosew #sewingclasses #sewingclass #sewing #sewingproject #seattledesign #seattledesigner #bagdesigner #seattlemaker #joannsfabric #singersewingmachine #sewingmachine

quarantine diary | april 1, 2020 ‼️ 16 tips from my trauma psychologist to manage anxiety during the coronavirus pandemic: 1. know that you are doing your best during this stressful situation. 2. the virus is out of your control. 3. the economy collapsing is out of your control. 4. your banks will let you defer payment. your student loan is deferred. 5. limit covid-19 news and set a schedule for when you tune in; I’m usually calm in the early afternoon so I watch/read the news. 6. set a goal that you can complete every day. it can be showering and washing your hair or organizing a drawer or walking a mile. 7. keep a schedule. 8. controlled breathing – slower than you normally do, and deeper – breathe fully down to through your belly. do this 5x per day or more. 9. hum to calm your nervous system if you are feeling anxious. 10. connect with others via technology (text, FaceTime, DM, google hangouts, zoom, etc.) . 11. talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling!!!! we are all scared and confused, let’s be scared and confused together! 12. go outside. fresh air and Vitamin D strengthens your immune system. 13. if you are feeling sudden anxiety, identify that you are feeling anxious. take a deep breathe, stretch, sit up straight, and smile . 14. try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, and get plenty of sleep. 15. avoid using excessive alcohol and drugs to cope. 16. stay home!!!

quarantine diary | march 28, 2020 total covid-19 cases in the United States: 124,665 I can’t help but keep track of the details now. we’re seeing exponential growth of confirmed cases and more deaths every day. I hope we’re doing enough; I hope we don’t get sick. for a few moments, I feel like we’re doing everything we can do, but is it enough? we’re only a few days into our city “stay in place” order, so we’ll see cases increase rapidly in about a week and a half here (the virus has roughly a two week incubation period before you show symptoms). the scary part, besides the whole life-threatening virus, is that there isn’t enough support for our heroic doctors and nurses so communities and businesses working together to create masks and personal protective equipment and ventilators. ugh, the ventilators. an intense wave of fear comes over me when I think of that many fucking ventilators for people whose lungs are imploding and the fear that this virus is so bad that it could infect 1 in 3 Americans. dizzying, isn’t it? I’ve been checking my temperature several times a day. I’m good. no covid symptoms, just stress and anxiety. in spite of myself, I cycle between blind panic and nervous calm; feelings that are absolutely valid, considering the virus, considering the pandemic, considering entire cities are shut down and people are dying. I know we will get through this. I know we will come out on the other side completely changed. I don’t know about you but I’m looking forward to act two. stay healthy. stay calm. #alonetogether cheers, rebecca risa (like reese + uh) . . . . #quarantinediaries #quarantinelife #quarantinememes #coronamemes #coronavirusseattle #seattle #seattlewashington

quarantine diary | march 27, 2020 my neighborhood walk has been decorated with nature’s confetti—cherry blossoms. it’s quiet on the streets; the order from @govinslee has kept everyone in their home except for essential reasons or neighborhood walks. there are no longer family gatherings, a common occurrence in the suburban area of Seattle I live in. I wave to neighbors on their front porch and cross the street when I see other people approaching (both things I mindlessly did before all of this) and I remember that we’re all doing this together. alone, but together.

quarantine diary | march 27, 2020 the anxiety of this moment in our lives is very real for everyone. the sense of dread is entirely warranted. but it’s also beautiful to slow down, spend these days at home, and to witness the massive shift in collective consciousness. we’re doing this alone but together, to protect each other from a deadly virus. total covid-19 cases in the United States: 97,028 (according to @johnshopkinsu) #quarantine #quarantineandchill #isolation #selfisolation #selfisolating #bedroomdecor #bedroomideas #bedroominspo #greybedroom #whitesheets #inbed #inbedallday
