Lockdown, Day 88

Another night on the sofa, Andy looked quite comfortable in bed when I got up at 2.30! I'm not even sure he noticed I had gone!

I was very good and stuck to my fast with no sneaky mid-night feasts and I only drank water!! So why don't I feel smug and self satisfied??

It has been a fairly quiet day, not sunny but very overcast and humid which is not helping me stay awake if I'm honest! I'm really hopeful I will pass out nicely tonight and get a full nights sleep for the first time since my afternoon with Fentanyl! Even morphine failed last night, but I@m blaming Andy's bright idea of mixing it with night time Rescue Remedy which has a base of glycerine so is amazingly sweet and acted as a wake up call rather than a knock out!

Tomorrow is counselling again (note to self - do the measures) and Andy and Mikey have a session with Becky; I get an afternoon off!!!!!! Time to party, or maybe sleep! I really am getting old.

I have rediscovered Mah Jong recently - I'm now on level 315. But I need new glasses, when I get tired I can't always tell the difference between some of the tiles; that makes matching them up challenging to say the least! I've also been dropping subtle hints about the mask/headphones to sleep in as then my choice in music will not keep Andy awake - plus I can wear a cool mask as well when my eyes get as dry and sore as they are at the current time. I would love to wake up with cool and refreshed eyes for once and not have to chisel my eyes open....
Coming up to Father's Day, I'm really missing my Dad. There is so much I need to talk to him about and I really have no idea who to turn to now he has gone,,,

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.
