Not in a depressed way. I just feel covid ruined the start of a positive change for me.
My daughter was in reception. Spring was beginning. I was really looking forward to our first summer of mingling. I was just getting to know a couple of school mums. I also wanted my toddler to mix with one of the school mums toddlers.
Half term hasn't been horrible but it hasn't been much fun. I've done painting and stuff with my daughter. We've had walks and stuff. But we've literally seen nobody. Partly the weather. Partly because we can't really mingle. Partly money.
Sometimes I sit here and think omg I've not sat and spoke to another adult in weeks. Only on the phone. Even on the school run we can't chat. We have to wear masks and queue. So all the nice chitchat has been removed.
I always find it a little miserable at this time of the year. Everything is closing up. You can't hang out the washing or sit in the garden after tea. It massively helped just being able to talk across to neighbours and things in the warmer months. I would take a cup of tea in the front garden with the kids so we could speak to anyone who randomly wanted a talk. I literally don't know what my life has become.
Just wondered if anyone else is feeling abit lonely?
Either that or I just don't have friends.
