Lockdown 3; Day 78

Last night I got some sleep...but to say my dreams are odd is a bit of an understatement! For some reason I was dreaming about my Nanny's china cabinet! No clue why, but I an just remember a collection of tea cups and saucers she had in various colours with flowers and fruit on them. The 4 granddaughters used them for tea parties and I wish I had the blue one I always used. I think it is because I have no actual items with memories attached to them, and I obviously need something. I have found an identical one on eBay and I would love to have it as an aide memoire I guess.

Mikey is starting to get a little nervous about the move of school this year, I'm trying to reassure him as much as I can. He also is joining me in our campaign for a dog. Personally I feel having a dog will help him, I used my dog to get through the 6th form - I felt she was the only 'person' I could talk to without being told what I've done wrong or should do...Pip kept me sane during a tough period for me. I also would love a dog just to have a friend at home. During the last year I have felt increasingly lonely and isolated and cats are no help with that at all as everything is always on their terms. Failing that I want to move to Australia and look after Possums, Koalas and Wombats!! But no spiders please!

I have done my 1st home lateral flow test today. I'm planning to test both Mikey and me to try to keep me as safe as I can! It was a very simple process, but reporting my results took longer than the actual test! Hopefully this will get faster as I have now registered with the site! I am not posting sex. skin colour etc for every test! I'm obviously getting stubborn in my old age 😀.

One plus for today in my blood pressure has dropped a bit! My Diastolic Pressure is almost normal and Systolic has dropped a fair amount; I am hoping that my haemoglobin has also dropped to a more sensible level! The last time it was checked I was both stressed and dehydrated which I'm sure didn't help in the slightest!

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
