Lockdown, Day 63

Tough day today, it was 4 years ago that my Dad died and I'm still not used to the feelings of loss which are overwhelming me more and more often at the moment. I'm exhaausted and drained and totally unable to drag any energy up from anywhere. My throat is sore and the glands on one side of my neck are swollen and painful. I really need a break from all of this mess that China have kindly created for the planet.

I'm also starting to prepare for my appointment with my Nephrologist but thinking about the tings I need to talk to him about drag my mood down again and just give me more to think about and also worry about. It really hurt earlier when the storm hit as I was trying to calm Mikey down to stop the panic which someone has convinced him he has, in our house it is Grandad 10 pin bowling with the angels...and trying to explain to Mikey why Thunder and Lightening makes me cry just added to it and I couldn't do it.

It has been a long day today and I just want to sleep...but first I have to survive getting Mikey to go to sleep and the way he tries to beat me up...I love him dearly but I just don't have enough energy to cope with him, he deserves a Mum who can keep up with him and the way he wants to live...Andy should trade me in for a working model which would please certain people no end to see me totally out of his life. 

Mikey meeting his Grandad at a day old, before it all went wrong and he was moved into Special Care. I'd imagine Dad was busy trying to teach him to say articulated lorry....he tried it with both of his Grandsons and Mikeys first word was a definite NO, and it is still pretty much his favoutite word to use!

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.
