Will my life ever be simple?

[mogloveseggs]

Just that. I'm not asking for much. Just a simple life with no drama.
I know the answer but today it has just got to me.
Would run away but too fat to run and can't go anywhere nice to escape!

I know where I'd go.
Lake District. Walk up gummers how very slowly and watch the planes fly underneath me and and the boats going about their business. Have a black currant ice cream from the windemere ice cream van.
Then a leisurely drive up to windemere. Nice busy round the lakeland shop and a brew somewhere. Then back to bowness for a mooch round the lake and Cumberland sausage chips and gravy from the little chippy next to the car park.

Sounds lovely

It sounds like a perfect day. Get it in your diary :)

You're right I shall do thanks

Anyone want to share their perfect day?

I feel your pain...I thought my life would be my own by now having divorced four years ago and with DD being almost grown up.

Instead caring for elderly parents happened and now Corona virus has hit!

I would love to in Yorkshire right now, either at the lovely little cottage with a hot tub I stayed at a few summers ago, or in Harrogate for the crime writers festival which I booked in a flurry of optimism about 2 weeks before lockdown and is now cancelled.

Either that or being able to have a day out in London, mooch around a gallery or museum, meet some friends for late afternoon drinks/early dinner and then go the theatre.

All seems like a very distant dream at the moment.

My dx aren't grown up but I cannot see a path clear for me? I think being furloughed hasn't helped-I'm just a mum now. I relied on work for interaction with people as a lot do and now I don't have chance to be myself if that makes any sense?
Your perfect days sound lovely! Hopefully they won't be too far in the future

It does make sense, and if all your time is no swallowed up with wrangling small people, lovely as they are, it's a big adjustment.

My work has always been a necessity, rather than something I'm passionate about and I don't really socialise with my colleagues so I'm fortunate that I'm not really missing out by wfh. In fact it's been a blessing in a way as I'm able to be around for my parents in a way that I couldn't manage if I was still in the office full time.

I think atm it's really hard not having anything much to look forward to. I know for me the day to day is manageable if sometimes grim, but the relentlessness of the current situation is a real bastard.
