Covid finally caught me. This is the first time I have been ill since becoming the only parent (DH died last year). I want a hug (wouldn’t be sensible anyway as I am infectious), someone to go to the shop and buy some lemsip, work out ordering the supermarket shop to be delivered, clean the cat vomit off the carpet, cook dinner and make packed lunches and spend hours putting DC to bed. I can’t even be ill in peace because the school is closed today, yesterday DC1 claimed to have a headache and didn’t go, school shuts early on Fridays. My head hurts. I can’t go to work, so haven’t spoken to another adult in person since last Saturday and probably won’t until Wednesday.

Flowers Here is a virtual hug from me.

My entire management team are micro-managing twonks and I've had enough of the constant scrutiny. So I've put in for a transfer. FU d*ckwads!

I’m still not done with the menopause. It’s fucking shit, HRT doesn’t work for me (I’ve tried three diff types), I’m on day 3 or a hormonal migraine. Everyone seems to use me as a rock to anchor on and I’m fucking sick of it. I’m tired, I’m sore, everyone bores me to tears with the minutia of their lives. I hate fucking gardening. And cooking! I want to jump on a train and piss off on my own with no responsibilities to anyone but myself just for a break from it all. And DH is working from home and getting in my way and on my tits. I’m sick of being the dumping ground of idle office chat about people I don’t know, will never know and don’t care BECAUSE I DONT FUCKING WORK THERE. And I wish he’d stop asking what I’m doing all the time. I’m putting the fucking bins out and hoovering, what the fuck else does it look like. Arggggghhhhhh!

and breathe! Thankyou 😉

We were given notice on our little cottage last autumn after nearly ten years there. The landlord, as well as being a decent enough landlord at the time, has been very accommodating with the odd stray parcel that's turned up and collection of items that DH simply forgot to remove from the loft.

However I drive past the cottage on a daily basis and it's rather galling to see the new heating going in, and today brand new windows. Logically I know it's entirely down to him and I have no right to have an issue with it. However I do and I hope our lovely ex neighbours judge him for it 😉

MN is annoying me. I still don’t know how to stop it asking me to accept cookies every single time I go to a new page, if I click back a box comes up that says access denied with a string of letters and numbers, and now the big black box that says rotate your device is back. I put up with all this because I need MN but it’s very annoying.

I'm waiting to hear back after a job interview last week and I'm losing all hope as the days go by. I really want it!

Worried about my elderly relatives and have been crying today. My brother is cross about it, rather than sad like me, and I know it sounds stupid but that makes me feel so alone. Getting old is miserable. My parents are slowly and painfully losing their sight, hearing, walking ability. They are in pain despite tablets, they can't sleep, they can't take themselves to the loo. They dont want to go to hospital for anything. It's all just going to get worse. It's terrible.
Thank you for letting me get it out of my system by writing here. Sorry it's so miserable.

That's difficult @Youwiththeglasses . We lost dfil suddenly last month and dmil has just had a hip replacement last week. It's hard. And hard looking after getting older people and little people. Sympathy.

Sending solidarity, sympathy and sticks it's to everyone, whichever you need!
