Lockdown 3; Day 36

 Had a bit of a break from blogging...Mainly as I was totally exhausted and feeling a tad run down. Not a great mixture for me and then it snowed... 😲😲😲😲 Thankfully not too much - but then again in the UK more than 3 flakes brings the whole country to a halt!! But it is cold and this Heather does not work well in temperatures that start with a minus.

Right now my hands feel more like chunks of ice and I keep shivering. But it must soon be time to hug a mug again! Mikey really can't understand how much I love hugging a mug of tea; but he did let me warm my hands up on him earlier which was nice 😂 He managed to land a gold card from school as well. It arrived this morning in a gold envelope (Which the post man had to fold to get through the letterbox - and not due to size, they just LOVE folding things) He was happy for once and then went on to be awarded a house point during maths!! Considering my failure at any point when anyone tried to teach me fractions, I am super impressed that he appears to have grasped this during home schooling!!

The felines and I have fallen out over the weekend! Seeing as the forecasters have been predicting snow for the last 3 weekends with 0 flakes falling I had  not bothered to get a tray and litter for them. Therefore they had to go out and when 1 of them (Misty) bounced on me before 5am I got fed up and threw both of them out! I wasn't too cruel and I went and left them back in after 25 minutes. But it serves them right for having the Zoomies up and down the stairs and sounding more like elephants than small cats. I will admit that my patience is limited at the moment, and waking me up early when it is cold does not help it! But a slipper up the rear does convince stubborn felines that they want to go out!

The snow is really coming down now...huge fluffy flakes. Rory was out in it and returned as a white cat! Misty has got as far as looking out of the door before doing a really fast U turn and heading back to safety! Everything is currently turning white again and the temperature appears to be dropping very quickly - at least it feels like it to me! But then again I've been frozen all day!!

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

Worried

 We are now the day before Mikey starts at The North School....all they have done today is worry me even more that this is the wrong place for my son. I know all parents are protective - but he took so long to have and I really do not trust them to look after him properly. We have been provided a timetable which states that his first lesson is PE - Yr 7 parents have been told not to send PE Kit in tomorrow.... Also, he is in group 7x3....but the timetable has him in 7x2. If they can't send the right timetable how can I trust them to look after the most valuable thing I have? The chair of Governors has also sent a letter about the school joining the Swale Academies Trust. From what I have heard about this on local news I do not want my child at a school under their control. How can I get him out of there? Since I started writing this |I have e-mailed the Head asking why everything is so disorganised the day before they start and have said it will not help kids with autism as everyth

Lockdown, Day 90

Definitely thinking backwards today!! 10 years ago Andy had to take me to Hospital for monitoring as I couldn't feel the baby moving and a friend in Scotland (who was also pregnant) told me to get checked! I spent all of the Friday afternoon on a monitor and having blood samples taken. The original plan was for me to go in on Sunday for my induction so I was sent home as they were happy my bump was doing OK and there was nothing to worry about! That was my first experience that I remember of how tired hospital tests make me so I was not in a cooking mood! Dinner ended up being KFC and a tub of Ben & Jerries as I had decided that the bump couldn't put that much weight on in 2 days!  Just as I curled up with my tub the hospital called me and told me to go back the following morning as my blood tests had shown a problem. She did tell me what it was but I honestly can't recall what she said! The plan at that point was to do my induction as soon I arrived, so as I thought I
