This is my submission for the "Out of this World" challenge. Things have changed so much lately it is as if we are living in a different version of planet Earth. It is as if we have traveled to a new universe without even leaving our homes.

COVID CHRONICLES is a few tidbits that I have experienced during the Covid-19 quarantine. It's been odd. I haven't really left my house since March. It doesn't seem that I will be leaving my house any time soon either.

A fun twist to the pandemic when most of my work got cancelled!

The layout of my home but instead of rooms are my routine and activities during the week!

Singing with my husband , baking and painting are part of my relaxing moments. But some are very stressful, like when the grocery box is delivered at my doorstep. Video calls with friends and family are very helpful. I have a call with my Mom every day, She is alone at home so is the way we can stay close! But we can't forget that at 7 pm is time to clap at our balconies and be grateful for the hard work of the Front-line care workers. At the end of the day Netflix is our best friend. I am glad to be safe and healthy until now! I forgot to draw about my online Yoga class. I'm trying to do at least twice a week!! I can't promisse more! I have lots of things to do at Home!

When quarantine started because of COVID-19, I decided to spend this time doing things I couldn't do very much until then.
Even in this situation, there are many things I can do in and around the house, and I was able to notice the small happiness in my life.
It was very encouraging to see how people all over the world were spending this time through their unique drawings.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful project!

Expecting the unexpected in 2020

During the quarantine, my kitchen table has become a gathering place for all of the things that are a part of my new daily routine.

With most of the tourist areas and beaches closed and a restriction on travel during the lockdown period in Cyprus, my family and I were only able to exercise outside within a limited distance from our home. As a consequence, we discovered some beautiful areas close to our flat that we had previously had no idea existed.

My entry for Mapping this Moment—a little comic documenting these strange times.

This is our walk route which is a little over 3 miles. It was a coping ritual that is now habit. We see gopher turtles, plumeria trees blooming, egrets, herons, ibis, spoonbills, wood storks, singing frogs and alligators, who is our friendly neighborhood map monster. We moved to Florida back in November and we love it here!

During the COVID-19 Quarantine we rarely left the house. Our life basically happened either inside the house, working, sewing, cooking, or outside in the backyard, gardening!

A map of my routines during this lockdown.

I have been busy doing lots of art work, starting seeds, cooking, sorting through things, redecorating, gardening, face-timing the grandkids and taking class on zoom. Whew!
