I can’t work out whether I just can’t be bothered, have become a bit more lazy or don’t care! The days go by, a few things get done then it’s bedtime.
Today for instance I finally cleaned the sink, bath and toilet, but the now grimy walls and floor still need doing. I put two tomatoes into the garden, made lunch and tea and that was it. Oh, also did a bit of family history. Maybe I do more than I realise. Ah well, must be how things are panning out in lockdown.
Great that we can now meet more people but actually haven’t got more people to meet. Certainly can’t see son and family as a round trip, just the driving part, would be seven or eight hours.
I need just a few summer clothes but aren’t sure whether I want to risk the shops when they open. Not a fan of buying them online as I am in between sizes.
The big question is this, have I had the old virus or not. Have I had it and not known? If I have, then I wouldn’t need to worry about doing things.
The snap fastener machine I sent for arrived yesterday. I shall have a practise, finish off granddaughters dress and post it up. Just waiting on some special strengthening ribbon then I can try another dress.
Same here, I'm just listless....although that's partly to do with the heat. It must be killing you to not be able to see and hold your granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteIt is really getting to me now. I try to pretend we live abroad and would be in that situation anyway. Some days are worse than others.
DeleteI feel the same. Have lost all routine these past few weeks. I seem to drift through the days doing bits & bobs and not much else. With hindsight I feel I may have had a mild form of Covid (but what I had certainly didn't feel "mild" at the time). I took ill on 1st Jan and didn't fully recover until 1st March. Had 2 weeks of constant painful dry cough, sweating, fatigue, etc, followed by a really chesty cough which I thought was bronchitis. Never felt so ill in all my life. I will be interested to see the result of an antibody test.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it and not mild. You can be quite ill without needing hospital. My DDiL’s mother was very ill with symptoms over the Christmas period. DB thinks I had it with the on off 5 weeks of being ill with a sore throat, glands up, generally tired etc. Like you said, an antibody test would tell.
DeleteI have odd days here and there where I can't be bothered but am managing to keep myself busy. I must admit I am bored and yearn for something a little different. But...we are safe and so I am thankful.
ReplyDeleteIt would just be nice to see family and not be worried.
DeleteI had several weeks of something virusy before Christmas. A week of coughing, a week of sinus problems, a week of temperature and giddiness and a week of sore throat, not necessarily in that order - I forget now, but it went on for ages. Could have been an early version of Covid 19 but who knows? I went to Bury St Edmunds during the sinus week!
ReplyDeleteWe just don't know enough about it, do we?
xx
I suspect it was in this country late December.
DeleteIs it just me....do the numbers really matter or should just two households be able to get together...after all they’re going back home soon enough anyway??? x
ReplyDeletePeople have been getting together in our neighbours garden for a while now, don't even bother sitting apart.
DeleteI've still been quite busy, and haven't yet felt bored- possibly because we've been working in the garden, and I've been trying to solve the problem of mother's broken fridge/freezer without having delivery men in the house!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many false negative tests that many people will have gone back to work thinking they didn't have it. No doubt with the latest ' unlocking' measures, there will be a second spike. The R is far too close to 1 to be opening schools, and the ridiculous thing is that a teacher can spend all day cooped up with a number of children in a classroom, but can't see their own grandchildren indoors. Just another part of the farce I suppose.
We chatted to a TA friend of ours yesterday. She will be stuck all day in one classroom with 10 pupils if they turn up. She still doesn't how how they or her can go to the loo, let alone her be able to get a drink of some kind. Also, no idea what to do if some kick off as that happens frequently.
DeleteTo your statement - 'I can’t work out whether I just can’t be bothered, have become a bit more lazy or don’t care!' - I just answered YES, exactly that ... ME TOO!!
ReplyDeleteI've been saying for a few days that's it's just like Groundhog Day at the moment, then reading the Radio Times this morning, guess what film is on television next week, yep ... Groundhog Day. I said to Alan they should show it every day at the same time for the whole week to completely drive us mad :-)
I was trying to work out that if they lift the restrictions on us being able to drive anywhere here in Wales, would I drive to Manchester to visit my Mum, we could sit in the communal gardens ... but it's a lot of driving for what would have to be a short visit.
Difficult isn’t it. Hope you might be able to see her.
DeleteCount me in as feeling the same way. I seem to go in spurts - yesterday I did manage to change the sheets, clean the bathroom and do a bit of a tidy up in the dining and living rooms but that was it. Today I will go into the office for a few hours and that sense of normalcy usually inspires me for a day or so and then it all falls apart again. I hate feeling so lethargic - I'm one of those people who always has a lot of things on the go and now I can barely manage o read a couple of pages of a book that I'd normally finish in a day.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t read a book for months. Normally once started I can’t wait to finish. Now I can’t get started.
DeleteI think its Lock down fatigue. I've been terrible. Everything is too much trouble! We've worked in the garden for a few hours here and there but the pace is very slow.
ReplyDeleteExcellent description.
DeleteI have had a routine of sorts and I suspect my routine will not go back to what it was, as I won’t be doing certain things (like having a coffee/scrambled eggs in busy supermarket cafe before shopping). But I agree that there is a bit of lethargy here at times x
