Lockdown 3; Day 44

 Yesterday has been pretty much written off - I was completely exhausted and just wanted to sleep! I did escape upstairs before 7 last night, but by 9 I was really thirsty so I was back downstairs guzzling water!

This morning started with me getting an e-mail about my car insurance renewal. I was expecting a slight increase as I changed the car last year for a new one...but I really was not expecting nearly £400!! So I did my usual and ran through Compare the Meerkat... SAGA came up at £200 and the AA about £10 more. As these are both suppliers that I trust I decided to give Hastings a call to give them a chance to try to match them! It took ages to get through but I was not in a giving up frame of mind - I have morphed into Underwriter Heather and I could hear Colin Wiles' voice when he was training Shelly and I after we moved from Domestic to a joint team! By the time I had finished the renewal was down to £196!! Much better and far closer to what I was expecting; So happy Heather hasn't lost everything that was input into my brain all those years ago! To be honest I think it a possibly 30 years ago now! But the basic principles of insurance have not changed and the rating is still based on mostly the same bits of information... I'm just happy I could dig it all out again.

Mikey has now been renamed Hannibal - mostly due to the herd of elephants which have joined him in his bedroom! He is amazing at making the light in the kitchen move as he dances around his bedroom, or whatever it is that he does in there! To be brutally honest I don't know and I don't really want it explained as I know I will not understand why he feels he has to do it!

I have also received a letter from Urology confirming to plan we discussed on the phone last week...I was sent 2 copies so I think I possibly also have the copy sent to my GP! All I need to do now is wait for them to get around to zapping me with a laser to break up the calcium and make it easier and less painful to pee out! (I'm sure there is an official medical term, but I have no idea what it is!! I am seriously considering delivering the copy to them tomorrow just to be able to get out and drive for once!!

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.
