Lockdown rant

[MrsJonesAndMe]

Does anyone want to join me in a virtual scream or vent?

Day 80 of the "new normal" - just the phrase makes me want to scream.

I know circumstances will be different for everyone.

For me, I go round in circles of feeling guilty because we are physically and financially OK, but boy this is hard!

Work, "school" the house and the endless walk to the park because there's nothing else to do

I've even got Mumsnetty or for breakfast or unMumsnetty hugs ((())) instead if you prefer.

Totally fed up it's like limbo not lockdown but not normal .
I'm bored of the walks and now can't be bothered.
I get up do my daily exercise which does make me feel better , shower , tidy up , eat that's it .
I'm wearing leggings and a vest and my hair scraped back I look a fright.
Yesterday was a bit of a break as ds in school so I did the weekly grocery shop and went to ikea no queuing so was lovely .
I even put some makeup on and wore nice top & jeans I felt like me again .
I miss getting ready for work putting makeup on doing my hair and choosing a outfit.
I miss looking forward to the weekend.
I've been furloughed forever and don't even get me started on peoples comments with the lazy furloughed digs . I'm worried if I'll ever go back to work , ds only in school 2 days as is sen but with no sign of full time school I'm thinking will i ever go back to work .
I'm praying that in July I can get my hair done at least , I know in the grand scheme of things it's not big deal but I miss it .
Im really hopeful that within the next month it will get better . I'm sick of all this social distancing and queuing.
I know so many have it worse time and we shouldn't complain but 12 weeks of this shit now and I'm done.

I've just resigned as home schooler after 7 1/2 weeks of trying to juggle everything.

I’m at the end of my tether and it’s getting harder and harder to summon up the energy to pull my socks up and plough on through.

The thought that the children won’t be back in school normally by September is just so fucking depressing, for me and for them. I need to find a new job but trying to do that in a global recession when no childcare is available just feels like such a mammoth impossibility, because even if I do get a job what do I do with my 1 year old?

My DH is annoying the crap out of me. He keeps saying it will be ok and we should just focus on the future and completely fails to acknowledge how hard I’m finding all of this.

I look forward to going to the supermarket as it's the only time I'm alone and not with my family apart from work! We had so many amazing plans this year as it is both my Husband's and sister's 40th. Barcelona, Nice and Finland, and we never go away really.

Sodding bastarding sane five walks over and over.
