Lockdown 3; Day 84

 Sleep was pretty much totally impossible last night...to say my brain was in Grand Prix mode is a complete understatement and all it did was get me stressed and very, very anxious. One thing I do remember was my Dad was there - which just added to my stress and reminded me just how much I miss him, I even ended up crying due to simply wishing I could talk to him about how I feel at the moment. In my dream he was a bit 'knight in shining armour' and went into battle for me with the people who hate me the most. She didn't change her opinion but was read her life story and told not to EVER upset me again. He started asking why she wore the same colour as me to my and Andy's wedding and went on from there. It just felt so wonderful to have someone on my side for once, and also to see someone tell her the misery and pain she inflicts on people who would happily help and support her if only she could be nice and act like a human being. The rest of the occupants in the house were also included and they just facilitate her behaviour and never tell her how horrific her behaviour is.

I know this can never happen as my darling Dad was taken far too early, but it was so wonderful to have him back, however briefly. He also had a chat with the head of Lenham for us and sorted everything out for Mikey. I so wish he was here to help me - I need him so much.

As of tomorrow I am allowed out of shielding, I'm still completely terrified of going out - unless I can be sure there are not going to be hordes of other people there...the photos of a park in Nottingham yesterday scare me - why are the English so stupid???

But I am looking forward to the time hugs are allowed - the lack of human contact has really affected me over the last year - and much as I adore Mikey he can't make up for what I have missed so much and for so long. I can honestly say the last 12 months have challenged me both mentally and physically and I have had more than enough. I just want a break from all this and being here.

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
