Just disgusting that. Companies are forcing people to declare they are self isolating or are depressed. Wankers.
I was being serious & sympathetic. Some woeful antics from companies during this pandemic.
Bit of a wobble this morning.
I was going to take the 3rd of April off work. It's my parents wedding anniversary. I was going to take my Mam up to Stanhope and we were going to plant wild flower seeds around my Dad's bench. They'll provide a mass of colour through the summer and be good for the bees and butterflies. Dad loved flowers. I can't do that now.
I'd promised my daughter to take her and a couple of friends out for her birthday in May. Just bowling and a bite to eat or something like that. I feel awful that her birthday is going to be stuck in the house with just me and her older brother. No party or family celebration.
I'm not allowed visitors. I can't see my Mam and I miss her and I can't see my younger son as he's still working among the general public so he's too high risk to be in contact with me. He's really struggling with this and so am I.
It's sunny and the dogs are pestering me to take them for a walk. I love being outside. I'm used to walking them every day, plus I'm out and about for work and I go running often. Can't go outside at all now and it's frustrating.
It's hard
This might sound daft, but had no plans today. Just found jobs as I mooched about. It sort of just happened. Tomorrow is shed tidy day, and that will take all day. Repair to be done to it as well,but why not? It's a challenge and good for well being. Nowt better than a win.That sounds like a canny day
I'm still struggling
Really sorry to hear that. At least you know you’re not stressing over nothing. This really is an unprecedented situation for us all. It takes a lot of getting used to and normally we have more time to adjust to change. You have every reason to feel unsettled and your situation is more restricted than many. It isn’t forever and it will get easier. Try to make some sort of routine and keep busy. I know you’re very restricted in what you can do but perhaps there’s something you’ve always fancied trying or learning and now you’ve got the time to try it? It’s not often you get 12 weeks of free time so see if there’s something you can do so that when it’s over you’ve got something positive out of the experience. Easier said than done I know but we have little choice in the matter. My family have banned me from going to the shops. It’s amazing how not being able to do things really makes you long to do them. Yearning for a trip to Sainsbury’s is not something I expected. By the end of 12 weeks I expect it will seem strange to get in the car and go somewhere though I will need to go for a blood test in a few weeks - not usually something I look forward to but it will be an outing! However I’m hoping I’ll have new curtain poles and curtains in my living room and bedrooms which will be a big positive for me and a shed full of stuff to go to the tip when it finally reopens! Small victories.That sounds like a canny day

Why can't you walk the dogs
