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.

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.
