Lockdown 3; Day 5

 Really feeling the struggle right now. Last night Andy was really comfy and snoring away happily, even folding a pillow arounfd my head didn't block the noise so I got up at 1am. Mikey was still awake as well so came downstairs with me and spent 20 minutes of so explaining his latest City Skylines creation to me until I sent him back to bed!

Rory was sat with me once Mikey disappeared and was so cold he even snuggled up! Quite an amazing happening although when I stroked him the little sod bit me! Andy did appear at one point, but not for long and he disappeared back to bed. I left him to it as at least one of us got some rest! I also started watching Bridgerton again...I really need season 2 NOW!!! I am now seeing nuances I missed on the first viewing so it is really worth a second watch!

I went back to bed at 8.50 after looking out of the window and seeing a world which at first glance looked like snow, but was actually a very heavy frost! Apparently when I got into bed Andy thought I was a block of ice! But once he was up I became a duvet sausage roll and soon warmed up. Once I snuggled down I soon feel asleep and warmed up! Until Mikey decided I needed to wake up and set Alexa to paly an alarm - which then neither of us could turn off! Once I made it downstairs Andy was watching 'Towering Inferno'. I know it is classed as a great film - but God, it is boring! I'm sure it could have been considerable shorter and not missed out any of the story at all. This evening we are dispatching another couple of episodes of 'The |Crown'. I am also considering introducing Andy to Bridgerton...But I'm not sure what he is going to make of it! It is hardly Downton, maybe we can start watching that again before the next film comes out!

Mikey's school work for next week is piling up; I must let them know that he won't be around Tuesday afternoon whilst I'm in Canterbury. Maybe I'll pack him into the back seat with a book!

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.
