Lockdown 3; Day 39

    Last night was really not good for sleep. I settled down at a sensible time with my sleep mask volume set at a nice level and snug under the duvet with a cat on my ice blocks/feet. For some reason, in the early hours, the internet decided that it was no longer going to connect to my phone so I lost my musical accompaniment to my sleep. Unlike Andy, I need some noise to sleep - just not snoring! So long as it is in tune I can happily sleep! Anytime Andy isn't around I have a radio on all night just to keep my mind happy and a nice noise in the background as I'm on my own. So last night my lavck of tuneful noise woke me up. This meant I had to restart it all and stupidly I swung my legs out of bed to sit up...That definitely woke me up, to say it was cold was a minor understatement and our bedroom felt more like a deep freeze. Even the cats had vacated it so it must have been bad!

Once I had got my noise back I snuggled back down - but then Misty decided it was time for a session on climbing practice, using me as a site! Once she reached my head she purred into my ear until I woke up and looked at her. Knowing how cold it was out of the duvet there was no way I was providing any fuss process and thankfully she quickly gave up and vanished back to the warmth of the landing!

Andy and I didn't get up very early this morning, but we managed to at least get up this morning, unlike Mikey who emerged from his pit around 12!! I love seeing him asleep as 1)he is so peaceful and 2) he looks so young and carefree and I can still see that toddler who terrorised me age 3!! Unfortunately Andy bought him a selection of his favourite junk and the sugar rush is currently being worked out upstairs so no chance of any peace whatsoever!

I have started on another diamond painting this morning...I'm only taking on small projects before the Spring Fling starts on 20th March...so this on is another Disney, not too difficult of complicated, so should be finished in plenty of time! My spring project is the Monet Style picture that Mikey gave me for Christmas...then I just need to get the 2 of them framed and find somewhere to hang them! At this rate I am going to need a Gallery for all of the ones I love!!



I've already finished a version of this one...but I love interpreting classic paintings - hence I have done a version of the Mona Lisa, The Scream and Girl with a Pearl Earring...

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
