Just that really.

Its 5.40am on Easter Saturday (If that's even a thing)

I'm currently shielding, so I'm waiting for a shop to go online at 6am so i can order some things i need...

I should of gone to sleep, and set my alarm for 6 but just kind of accidentally stayed awake.

What's everyone up to?

Larger than average baby beating me up from the inside. Having to pee at least 20 times a night. OH had the audacity to storm off downstairs when he was the one constantly thrashing around and woke me up. I’m now crying because he stormed off and I don’t get any affection when I’m clearly struggling. Really bad hayfever having to have the windows open and can’t take antihistamines due to pregnancy. Same old really🤣

I've been up since 1:45am (great!). Had to get some painkillers as my Rheumatoid Arthritis has kicked in. I haven't slept since then and just done round two of codeine. On a positive note, it looks like it's going to be sunny and I've just realised it's my birthday today. The wine we had last night must have made me forget, or is that just old age now Hmm

Just woke up, needed the loo. So I'm glad I woke up! Getting cup of tea shortly.

Blimey @AllTheseThingsThatIHaveNotDone you're lively!

Confusedasusual78 · 11/04/2020 06:03

Woke up at 3, feeling hot and weird, like adrenaline inside chest, temp only 36.3 though, eyes stingy/sore too, been like this for almost three weeks 🤷‍♀️but I’m tired and want to sleep!
Lay downstairs on the sofa watching YouTube videos of holidays we’ve been on (Thailand, India, Ibiza) in years gone by and the happier times.
21 month old will be awake shortly and dp will bring her down..then to get through another day, seems to be just all about survival at the moment.

Everything but a lockdown. Schools have been closed since mid-March. All non essential businesses closed. My “city” has a population of about 72,000. We’re a 4.5 hour drive from the nearest large city. We’ve had three cases confirmed. All travel related and all recovered.

Frownette · 11/04/2020 06:10

Oh it's your birthday? Happy birthday!

RA sounds really painful. Hope you have a good day in the time of lockdown Cake

Because I needed a wee at 4. I've been waking to do Jo Wickes at 8.45 each week day...fiecing myself out of bed. But at the weekends I wake up early. Every. Single.. Time. Morning everyone! FlowersGrin

I was awake at 5.40am because DP had the audacity to breath near me.

Frownette · 11/04/2020 06:15

@Kurzgesagt I've seen pics of nhs workers with sore faces from the masks, does it heal quickly? Good luck for today

bananafish · 11/04/2020 06:16

Going through a bout of insomnia, so no sleep (til Brooklyn). Plus DH snoring, small child deciding to sleep with me and starfishing everywhere, and a nice dose of anxiety and too much adrenaline.
Am calling it a bust - will get up and make coffee in a bit. ☕️☕️

JustStayHome · 11/04/2020 06:17

I've got what i needed online...

So off to sleep for abit, the sun is just up and partner not asleep yet either...
Going to be a fun day

Hope everyone has a good day as is possible

Anyone on the frontline;
You are appreciated and i really hope you stay safe

@JustStayHome @Frownette

Thank you, should be a fun day. RA is a bit of a bugger to be honest, but there are a heck of a lot in a worse position than me. Ive got a crazy wife and two teen boys to keep me normal. Grin

duletty · 11/04/2020 06:21

Goddamn sex mad birds twittering....it is a proper racket (window open as stuffy, which doesn’t help my hay fever)

catnidge · 11/04/2020 06:22

I get up at 5.25 usually so this is late for me.

Had stress related insomnia for about 7 months, it was starting to improve but now...

Hope those recovering from operations and in pain recover soon.

All those having to go to work, you are doing an amazing job. One of my dc has done two weeks on a covid ward. As a parent I feel so stressed, but I cannot imagine whatbit is like to be a front line worker.

OP, hope you've managed to get the shop slot.

Trooperslaneagain · 11/04/2020 06:23

DD 6 had a nightmare at 4......... caved and we're in front of Netflix.

boredboredboredboredbored · 11/04/2020 06:25

To get ready for work, 10 hour shift ahead. The joys of nursing.

Ohffs66 · 11/04/2020 06:25

Very early rising doggo here....DH went out with her about 5.30 and I am enjoying a cup of tea in total silence. Realised it's weeks since I've been in the house by myself!

PhilCornwall1 · 11/04/2020 06:26

@duletty We've got sex mad seagulls here. It's like a seagull swingers club at the moment from 5am.

JustStayHome · 11/04/2020 06:27

@catnidge

I did indeed get what i wanted thank you

Thinking of everyone having a hard time at the moment , things are very difficult and its not something any of us thought we would see.
But hopefully the sun will shine today, the birds will sing and i hope your all ok.

Good morning and goodnight 💐Brew

Bastard birds started at 5am, tiny baby inside me decided to press on my bladder, hayfever has started (windows open because it's so warm) and like a previous poster I can't take anything for it because I'm pregnant. YAY. 😬

Bananasandchocolatecustard · 11/04/2020 06:35

I’m in pain. Hopefully will be able to sleep after tea.
