Day 4
Monday, May 4, 2020

Today the provincial government is easing the state of emergency restrictions despite warnings from medical profession that we're in the beginning of the pandemic.  Since I have no trust what-so-ever in provincial politicians in regards to pandemic updates, the fact that many businesses and the general public can not easily access personal protective equipment (PPE), and the rush to re-start the economy, I am listening to the chief health officials and staying home while rationing my small supply of hard-to-find disposable gloves. 

These are the me-made items that I wore, used and ate today:  Reversible apron circa 2011 (OOP Butterick 5263), tea towel circa 2017 (no pattern used), black cotton knit knickers circa 2018 (Simplicity 8229), black sateen skirt circa 2019 (OOP Vogue 1247), homemade gluten free carrot cake, grid and dots shirt circa 2020 (Vogue 1678).  Sleepwear:  white cotton pajama bottoms circa 2020 (Butterick 6296) and white cotton pajama top circa 2020 (OOP Vogue 9217).
