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.

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

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth
