I'm fed up with MN, fed up with the tv, fed up with going a walk and fed up with the weather

@Slub

I hear y'all's! Every day is like fucking groundhog day however today has been EXCITING!! I have driven to the doctors to collect my HRT prescription AND been to Tesco and done a big shop. AND made a spag bog from scratch for tea.

Don't think my poor brain and body can recover from such diversions Grin

I'm not bored.

I'm too tired to be bored.

I'm not sleeping so I'm absolutely shattered. I just mainline MN & the news.

I have SO MUCH I need/coukd do, but NO energy to do it.

I can't drag myself outside for another walk. I can walk miles to do jobs, but not just fir the sake of it. I'm tempted to book the car in gir another service just do that I need to take it in then walk home (3 miles) and walk back to pick it up.

Arghhhhhhh

So many jobs need doing in the house & I know I'll regret not doing them,but I just don't have the energy (that's pre dates Covid though)

The only time I felt a bit a drift was when MN went down the other night.

Imapotato · 27/01/2021 18:02

We have covid (so far mild symptoms luckily) and obviously we’re now on house arrest. I think I may actually go insane!!
I’m sooooo boorrrreeed! Also my 16 year old is being a snappy, grumpy mare as she’s angry with me for bringing Covid in so she can meet her friend for a socially distanced bike ride! Sorry love, didn’t mean to ruin your plans ffs!!

I’ve been working through the pandemic, so this confinement is new to me, I have to say, I’m so glad I’m a key worker!!

Imapotato · 27/01/2021 18:03

So she can’t meet her friend!

Mochatatts · 27/01/2021 18:04

Same over here 👍

I can't sleep properly since covid either. I fall asleep then awake at 2am. Fall asleep at 3 wake at 4. Then give up and get up.

Do something else then.

Also be grateful for all the things you have. Most of the world, and a good part of the country, would love to be in your position I'm sure.

A little bit of discomfort and a bit of awareness might do you some good.

I recommend jigswaws. Calming, you can dip in and out when it suits you, and a sense of achievement when you get a piece in the right place

Inextremis · 27/01/2021 18:31

I'm a gamer, so I spend quite a lot of time playing my game online. I'm doing 10 mins a day of learning Irish. I spend bloody ages planning elaborate, but cheap, meals and the shopping lists for them (Tesco click 'n collect), then cooking them. I'm just about to start on seed catalogues with a view to actually producing a vegetable or two this year - I foresee this taking up a lot of my time for the next week or so.

That's about all I've got in the way of suggestions!

Chimeraforce · 27/01/2021 18:39

Yanbu
I'm fed up too.
I even decided to try learning to knit.
I just don't get it and must've restarted with the same wool 30 times.
The length of the item is meant to grow.... Not what's around the needle 😭🙄😭

Chimeraforce · 27/01/2021 18:40

But I did walk 3.22 miles as the ice has all gone now, thank God.

MustardMitt · 27/01/2021 18:42

I feel exactly the same way.

I’ve completed the internet.
I’ve completely Netflix and Prime, and everything on Disney+.
I’m trying to get out for a walk every day but sometimes it just isn’t possible due to work.

MrsBobDylan · 27/01/2021 18:44

Yup, bored. MN is definitely duller than ever

MrsBobDylan · 27/01/2021 18:44

Did you get showered @ssd or should I report you?

Yes, but how many decimal places can you quote Pi to? How fast can you solve a Rubik's cube? Tell me about [pick an event in history]

If you are ever done with all the things the world (even the current one) has to offer, then you're suffering from a shocking level of paucity of imagination and lack of curiosity.

I bet there are people out there who would love to be in your shoes and would like to slap your legs for being so ungrateful

londonmummy1234 · 27/01/2021 19:01

I hear you. We had a positive case at DCs nursery confirmed yesterday so that's 10 DAYS OF ISOLATION here woooooooo!!! With my just turned three year old. Praise Jesus I'm not working at the moment but whoop de dooo we are having a FABULOUS time..... pouring the wine now... when I know really I should down some water and eat something green. Can't be arsed.

samanthawashington · 27/01/2021 19:09

I'm joining you in your fed uppedness

Covidcorvid · 27/01/2021 19:11

I hear you. Hoping as spring comes even if still in lockdown better weather will make it more bearable.

Holothane · 27/01/2021 19:11

So miss swimming, it helps my arthritis.

Well it wouldn’t be Mumsnet if we didn’t have at least one po-faced head girl type come along and tell us to pull our socks up, stiffen our upper lip and be grateful because someone else somewhere else has it so much worse... 🙄
itsgettingweird · 27/01/2021 19:33

Same here.

I'm actually at the point where I don't even enjoy the things I enjoyed.

I need to kick myself up the arse Grin

lifeinlimbo2020 · 27/01/2021 19:34

@ssd

If anyone sees me here after 2.30 arrange to get me banned please? I need a shower, need to get moving.

Aarrgghh

🤣🤣🤣🤣
wizzbangfizz · 27/01/2021 19:45

I too am sick of all these things and am miserable and bastard sin

ssd · 27/01/2021 19:45

I got showered and went out to the shops Grin
