Lockdown, Day 91

Getting Mikey to sleep last night was a minor nightmare! I think he eventually fell asleep just before 3am! But he seems to be coping fine so far today; maybe he will actually sleep tonight!!

He struggled up at 9ish, he was actually dressed at 2am for some reason! But he did get changed again once he had attacked all his presents and recorded his first video with his new tripod! He is determined to be a blogger of some kind! Or is it technically a Vlogger?!?!

I am feeling very proud of myself as I drove to Mums even with all the helpful comments from the co driver in the passenger seat. Mikey and I are threatening to duct tape his mouth if I drive again! I can cope with all the questions and stuff from Mikey, but really do not need the sarcastic comments from my loving husband! I let him drive home as my neck which ahs been painful all day is getting worse. I spent the trip home playing with the screen in my car to connect the bluetooth in the car to my phone! I appeaer to bot have to communication book in my set so I randomly hit bits of the screen until I connected them! Another reason to feel proud of myself I think! But Spotify refused to play whatever I tried - so I guess I need to press a few more bits of screen either in the car or on my phone! There can't be many bits I haven't pressed so far!!

Mikey's request for dinner tonight is KFC, at one point it was McDonalds which, if I'm honest, I would prefer! But you are only 10 once so I guess it is going to be good old, greasy KFC..Right now my head is thudding and my neck is sending shooting pains down my spine. I feel like going to bed as I didn't get to sleep until 5am and woke up at 8. At my age I really need more than 3 hours sleep. I'm also getting a tad peckish as I had a tiny sausage roll and a scone for lunch. I need feeding sooner rather than later!.

Mikey and I 10 years ago, he was a quiet little thing until we got him home; then he decided to exercise his lungs at full volume. My problem is they didn't send a call button for a nurse or midwife home with me! Someone really should invent one to take home with new Mums! And if it could reassure you that a screaming red baby is perfectly normal it would help tremendously!!

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.
