Lockdown.day 57

Didn't get round to posting yesterday, to be honest most of the day was filled with trying to keep Mikey going. He has really got to the end of his tether with all the isolation.  I know that the Isolation advice has been lightened, but Mikey just want to see his friends and get his usual distractions rather than being nagged by Mum to get dressed  or open his curtains (I am beginning to suspecr  that he is going vampire as he prefers to be in a dark room!!)

We had a lovely Zoom chat last night with most of the Energizer Crew; including Sue from the States, plus Phil who had been banished to the basement and a few of the feline residents! I think the Zoom calls are possible the most Andy and I speak to each other (especially when Mikey freaks and I have to deal with that - Andy tends to run away at that point as Mikey wants me) That does make me a little down, once all this madness is over I'm worried we will be back to hardly speaking again...

Last night was another horrific night, I finally fell asleep just after 5 am, but then Mikey decided I| needed to get up to help him set something up on his X Box...I am the last person he should ask for help, I really have no clue about that thing, and with no sleep and fully engaged Zombie mode I am amazed I didn't blow it up!! He has accepted that he will have to wait until Dad has finished work and talk to him...hopefully they will bond over the game or something... I am finding it virtually impossible to get excited about shooting people in a game...guess I'm just too old and boring!! I think we need some nice Heather type came on it that I can play!!

Not sure what photo to choose today... I really need to get more photos onto my laptop, most seem to stick on my phone and never see the light of day! These are of the Italian Chapel on Orkney, we visited in 2007 (I think) whilst on a cruise to Norway. I loved the Island and Andy drooling over a girl jogging on the ship got me a pair of Amber Earrings!! He has since learned to hide his drooling better!!!

Lockdown, Day 73

Image
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.
