Lockdown, Day 41

Another yucky day to be brutally honest...

I've been to the Hospital for my Covid test, the testing was really well organised...but finding it was quite a challenge due to a lack of signage! I was nervous to got snappy very quickly, much to Mikeys annoyance! I don't think he was too impressed when he was told by Dad to keep quiet in the back of the car whilst I was being tested! THe drive through was actually in the disabled carpark. Andys first theory was to drive up the main road, but I doubt anyone would have believed a white c3 was and emergency vehicle so we did an about turn and drove round the carpark! We could see the test tents, but you weren't allowed to drive through to them! Eventually after more snapping from me, Andy drove past the private Hospital and we found the way in! Once in the short queue we were identified quickly (Yay me, I got my number plate right for once!!)

The main problem was the tester couldn't get into the swab packet in gloves! I managed to swab my throat and nose, but did miss the top on the recepticle ar the first attempt...hopefully I won't hear anything as I will only be contacted if I have now got a positive result, a negative result means the 11th will still go ahead and Kent and Canterbury can keep their Covid free status!

Returning home meant a lovely surprise as a friend had sent me a gorgeous box of flowers, they are lovely and made me feel so much happier. Thank you Angela, your timing was fantastic... 

Mikey has just headed outside for some fresh air, I have no clue what Andy is doing so for once I'm getting some me time. I know I should be grateful that we are all safe, but all being stuck together 24/7 is really getting to me. 

If I'm honest even being stuck at home with 2 people, I am still feeling totally alone. I wish I knew what I want/need but I don't...I simply need to find where I feel I belong, but I'm not convinced it is Ashford as it really doesn't appear to want me.

Lockdown, Day 73

The whole world appears to be going mad - and not over Covid 19 for once, but over the death of a man called George Floyd. Any death is one death to many, but the Americans do seem to be reacting and using this death as an excuse. The riots in various US cities are causing Millions of Dollars in damage (physical and mental) whilst the mobs, which seem to have a high number of white member scream for the blood of a policeman who probably felt he was working within the orders he has been given. Personally I feel they should be yelling at the Orange Idiot they elected 4 years ago. I vaguely remember his administration having a few black faces at the start, but recently it is decidedly WASP and black faces are totally out of sight. He has also threatened to send the army in to deal with the rioters...I am unable to remember any other US President using the military to quash a public uprising in the past. Is it wrong for me to hope that the people of the United States may remember all of th...

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I ...

When will all this end?

The UK appears to be in total meltdown abd I have had enough. Petrol is now been panic bought - at least it makes a change from toilet roll.  Mikey's school start was delayed until 10am this morning as Hythe Road was at a standstill = he missed PE but was playing benchball instead - but the advantage was he didn't have to get changed! By the end of today Stagecoach were not even trying to get near school - thankfully Andy got close and picked him up = the thought of Mikey finding the station and getting on the right bus is terrifying! He could have ended up anywhere!! While the general population are acting line brain dead zombies I am trying not to move too much as the infamous calcified blood clot (which doesn't cause any pain...) is absolutely killing me. I am seriously considering having a hot water bottle tonight in an attempt to ease the pain. I chickened out of my afternoon in the woods as I wasn't sure my back would hold out. I'm really not good with pain.
