Lockdown 3; Day 22 Holocaust Memorial Day

Today is a strange day, remembering the millions the Nazis disliked so disposed of... And yesterday the UK passed 100,000 dead thanks to Covid. So much death and a Crematorium has just put it's prices up by 48% . Basically now many people just can't afford to die or people are going to start burying their families in their gardens.

It all feels totally horrific and we really need more than a light at the end of the tunnel, maybe a small nuclear explosion would help just clear everything and a move to a new planet to start again??

Boris has just announced that schools will not open until 8th March. In that period of time he does have a week of half term, but basically it is still weeks and weeks of excuses from Mikey about why he can't actually do any of the work sent home. He was meant to be going on his residential thing at the end of March, that has now - hopefully, been moved to July providing life has normalised enough! I'm not sure if we have actually told him yet...but it may be easier to just leave it for now until we all know more.

I have just been upstairs to remind him he is meant to be working on his biography of Charles Darwin. His response was to shove the few notes he has made into my face. I couldn't focus on them or read a word! Hopefully they make sense to him as he needs to write it on Monday and send the work in... I'm not convinced this news was listened to or absorbed in the slightest! As for using passive writing...God only knows what he is likely to produce. I did offer a suggestion for an opening sentence, but what does Mum know about anything??

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.
