I’ve got covid. Temperature of 39 degrees. Have barely any energy other than to lie in bed or on sofa. Exh doing school run later but need to summon energy to make kids dinner later. And do homework with them which is due tomorrow. And do school runs tomorrow. Was supposed to be collecting presents from Argos tomorrow but will have to wait now. Lots of presents still to wrap. After kids finish school tomorrow I have no child free time til after Christmas. Will not have much time to rest and recover. Was supposed to be visiting family in Yorkshire this weekend. First time in a year. Now we won’t be going. Kids will be gutted and so am I. My house is an absolute mess. Can’t even see floor in some rooms. Was going to sort tomorrow but can’t see me having the energy. Still have loads of washing to do as we were away last weekend. Mum has dropped off some food I need to find energy to put away.

feeling sorry for myself really. Was not the fun exciting end to the term I had imagined. Could someone suggest baby steps on what I can do. Also found out yesterday my aunt has terminal cancer. Felt utterly overwhelmed already before getting ill. Just want to cry.
