Lockdown 3; Day 85

 Today is my last day of shielding, I received my official discharge type letter today - but I get the impression that they are reserving to right to push us back in if they need to - after all they have already done that!!

The thought of actually being allowed out is still a scary concept...far too many people are of the opinion that the pandemic is over or that it actually never happened. There is also the train of thought that masks to do need to be worn once you have had one jab. The science has made it very clear that this is not the case and you need both plus a period of time after the second to have maximum protection. Plus even when jabbed you can still carry and pass on the virus. It all make sense to me and I did not science at all after the age of 16! So just how imbecilic do people have to be to put themselves and those (if any) that they love?

Last night I ended up really angry at the news - it was full of self rightous filled snowflakes who are just trying to cause as much trouble as they can in their 15 minutes of fame. From women accusing all private schooled males of being rapists to the women who are using the murder of Sarah Everard to stop people abusing them by silencing them. As a woman who has been abused; I feel their shrill yelling and abuse of a truly horrific event is just as abusive as the so called issues they are going on about. I think I may avoid the news for a while...my stress levels are high enough without more so called 'woke' reporting. Both the BBC and Sky wound both Andy and I up last night.

Mikey is still recovering from his boy flu! But from the sheer amount of noise he has produced today means that he is going back to school tomorrow! It may only be for one day, but he is fit to return and he at least gets to see everyone and make plans for his break if he wants to! At least we know he is perfectly able to take himself to the local park and call us if he has a problem or needs us...usually it is simply that he is tired and wants his car to come and collect him!

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
