Lockdown Day 59

I am suffering from a severe case of Lockdown brain. My symptoms are total and utter confusion about everything, terror at any unexpected happening and a desire to be shut away from everyone else. 

Today, when Mimey came in from a trip to the park he came in making his usual amount of noise. But I wasnt expecting him, jumped and them my drink across the lounge! I decided at that point to cut my losses and try to cook instead! I never said lockdown brain helps you make sensible decisions, but nobody has died yet...

My only real achievement today was to complete a diamond version of "Girl with a Pearl Earring" I've now movexintk a Mandala which is mostly endless shades of blue...bets ars being taken on how long it will be before I throw it in the arc my drink took earlier!!
The photo makes it look better than I think it does in 'real life's but it joins my Van Gogh and my Monet...just waiting for Mona Lisa to arrive and I can open a gallery!!

I was considering sitting in the garden this afternoon but it was simply too hot and so bright my eyes were sore (plus the pollen was horrific) so i stayed inside and watch a live tour of Wingham Wildlife Park. Very satisfying as i saw penguins, meer Kats, red pandas, tapirs and wallabies. I think that is a place that will have to be revisited once we are released from house arrest...

Mikey has managed another work free day...I just couldnt face the discussions about why he cant do what I'm asking him too. Maybe daytime drinking could be an answer..

My nephrology appointment is now a phone consultation. I had pretty much worked that out as my results are already showing on line. I need to start on my questions ready for the 5th...

Not sure what photo I'll dig out for today yet...will have to see what I can find!
Donald is another recent completion. My dear Dad always used to moan that Donald looked angry all the time...I'm now finding as many happy Donald images as I can, just in memory of him.

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

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

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
