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!!

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

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

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
