Lockdown 3; Day 6

Last night was marginally better than the night before...at least I stayed in bed!! Sleep itself was still decidedly broken and when I tried to get up my legs did not appear to be in agreement and the first attempt resulted in a bit of a collapse. Hopefully no new bruises that I will have to explain away tomorrow.

Mikey was also not in a sleeping mood and appears to have snuck down to collect his phone and headphones. Unfortunately the headphones only stop Mum and Dad from hearing whatever he is watching and are not able to stiffle his giggles! As a result we have only just done his maths - but he does seem to have got the hang of it so long as we can get him engaged and focussed. I have printed off some spelling 'games' and puzzles for Mikey and Dad to work on tomorrow whilst I am in hospital - at least we won't all be wasting the afternoon that way! Although I am half expecting to get a call cancelling it!

Our genius is now upstairs creating quite a racket and stomping along the lines of a herd of elephant. Quite how one child can make so much noise is beyond me! And if I am honest I would love to stop all the shooting noises as they annoy me intensely and I'm pretty sure they are banned under the covid laws due to the amount of spray they produce.

Lunch was actually eaten happily today, scrambled eggs are easy to digest so I'm hoping they will at least stay put! I just need to come up with ideas for lunch that I actually want to eat...and do not take much preparation as cooking is really not something I want to do at the moment.

I told the school that we are not around tomorrow thanks to my procedure so I got a call this afternoon checking up on me and how Mikey is doing. Hopefully I was suitably positive 😀 At least they agreed that if I'm not interested in the subject, trying to sell it to Mikey is impossible! So drawing fossils is not going to happen and I really don't feel it is anything important that he is missing out on!

What is even more amazing is that Mikey has nearly filled his book - compared to Lockdown 1 this is amazing and totally unknown! But apparently we can nip in to the school reception and pick another one up for him!

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.
