I say hang in there as well! We’re in partial Phase 3 here in NYC, and I’m seeing more careless behavior. I wouldn’t be surprised (in fact I’m expecting and preparing) if there’s a regression in our progress. It’s a sad fact and reality.Yes it is, I am in deep emotion because we are back in lock down again. Thanks to all the “ Don’t care for Corona” people.
And the result for being frustrated, I ended up with a LV pouch size 19 which many of tpf members are after. I got lucky I guess. I called the store that I used to go and they had the last one on hold for me. It has been two years since I have gotten any LV products. And when I banned myself from Hermes, this pouch is perfect and suited my needs. The pouch I can ruin if my hand sanitizers accidentally drops on it or being held when my hands still wet from lotion...
BTW I will start a new project this week
My imperfect manicured

I so hear you
It feels so hopeless .. we are back to where we were .. arguably even worse than before. Many places won’t go back into lock down .. not bc it’s not the right thing but because of politics and economy (which is not I consequential...) it’s like 4 steps forward 10 steps back.... sigh ...

Thanks a lot, dear tlamdang08!Happy Birthday. The nano Scarf, I love it. What are you going to do with it?
I hang them all on the wall
The first thoughts that came to my mind were how you hung them and Diane's cushions. But the first thing my DH told me (that my SA had told him) was decoration for the bags. So I'm thinking about carrying it tied to some bags and if I don't carry it so often, transform it into house decoration in the future. 
I love how this Nano Scarf looks tied to this Mini Kelly...
Great idea the LV pouch!Yes it is, I am in deep emotion because we are back in lock down again. Thanks to all the “ Don’t care for Corona” people.

By the way, I'm in Buenos Aires with a never ending lockdown, I feel the same way. Fortunately, Hermès Buenos Aires started to make deliveries and coming here to tPF is an emotional shelter. It's a balm for the soul being part of this wonderful community.

I’m definitely now looking for ’projects’ that will keep me busier at home. I’ve got a few in mind....not all are H related.
The first couple of months passed fairly smoothly for me. The situation was improving. But now that we’re sliding backwards, I’m feeling the stress more....maybe because this situation was created by careless behavior. I think I have Shelter in Place Fatigue.

From my DH: Brides de Gala Nano Scarf 20 in Noir/Blanc/Or! And from my adorable SA: Un Jardin sur Le Toit!

To remain positive, I must keep reminding myself of my DH’s doctor’s reassurance to him, even at age 62 with his leukemia: no special circumstances, 6ft, face mask, wash hands—now that DH is back out in the world with his new job/company, probably at two locations per day, feverishly wiping down after each appointment with Clorox wipes. With Texas low death rate, I must focus on successes of us older folks taking precautions we need, not get depressed by media-reported/not necessarily factual positive-test numbers among mostly our cavorting youth. With each interaction and then going two weeks without infection, I balance experience against the fear.
Also, as we drove back from North Carolina last week, I was inspired that we were speeding on high bridges thru the same states ancestors travelled through swamps by covered wagon almost 200 years ago. I have it easy, and Yet I still have to grab ahold of my reality when fear threatens to sweep me downstream.
I agree with many of the recent posts here about shelter-in-place fatigue and feeling like we're going backwards. I think my nerves are shot from the upward trend, decisions about kids' school in the fall, and the ongoing uncertainty of our current times. I actually was not feeling well last week and got tested even though I had none of the "classic" symptoms, no known exposure, and am very conservative with my outings. Had it been any other time, I would have written it off as just another bug, but nowadays you never know. The fact that no one else in my family got sick should have been an indication. Fortunately, I tested negative and the whole testing experience was surprisingly easy. I went to the doctor after I got my results, and she thinks it could have been something else viral. Apparently there are other viruses going around now in addition to Covid, and where I could have picked one up is beyond me. 
I'm happy to say that I am feeling better, but going out anywhere makes me very nervous given my recent "scare." I hope everyone stays safe and healthy, and I give you all a virtual hug. We are living in unprecedented times (as cliche as that term is now) and many of us don't have access to our usual support systems given SIP. Having this group to vent, share laughs and distract from the negative news out there is so helpful. I tell DH that I go to TPF instead of the usual news outlets to keep sane during all this craziness.
Let's all rally and hang in there!!
(Sorry for the long post, but just happy to be healthy
)

It’s definitely a wonderful distraction to enjoy beautiful things with people who appreciate the same. Be well and safe!Great idea the LV pouch!
My neighbor, Simon, is breaking the rules. He doesn’t wear his mask over his nose.
Sorry, but I forgot to put the H pouch into the photo with him....TBH, I was just glad to get a good laugh today...
