I could never have envisioned living overseas during a pandemic. Here we are though.
I have to say, it’s probably similar here as it is in Canada.
Going to school was shut down on March 9th.
We are on day 42 of being safe at home. In a less than 1000 square foot, 2 bedroom apartment. With no balcony. I feel extremely privileged to be able to say that knowing Andrew’s able to work from home. I will add, it is hard with 2 small kids. Although we are not on entire lockdown, the country is discouraged from making unnecessary trips.
We go for walks when we can, which isn’t every day and we try to get out once a week for a drive.
The weather is hot. We’ve watched the temperature climb past 40c.
We went for a drive and let the kids take a quick dip in the ocean
I’ve learned how to make bread and I’ve taken up brewing my own kombucha. Anything to pass the time.
Sourdough….wasn’t too fun kneading by hand! 
First batch of sourdough 
Kombucha with scoby
Some days I feel lazy, some days I feel productive.
Homeschooling isn’t my “thing”. It’s been a learning curve to say the least.
It feels uncertain whether we will be able to leave for the summer for Canada which is hard. But like I said, I’m aware of our privilege. We have nothing to complain about.
We celebrated Easter and Holdens 4th birthday.
Thankful for technology where we can visit family on FaceTime and join class lessons on zoom.
I keep reminding myself that it’s ok to take things one day at a time. This is a crazy situation for the entire world. It’s ok to have many feelings. It’s something we can’t control.
Sending lots of love from Doha, Qatar xo
