Aibu lockdown weekends

[grubbygangsta]

Aibu to wonder how you are all spending your weekends in lockdown currently?

I get up and do a workout, Then it is basically housework,and dog walks, Netflix and wine.
Only difference is on a Sat we do a food shop.
I cannot wait until we can go out as a family to some attractions and for lunch.

Walking dog, take aways, wine watching crap, odd trip to park if weathers up to it, baking and house work

Depends if DS is with his dad or not. He goes EOW. If he's with me we tend to have a lazy morning, play silly games, go to the stables to look after and ride his pony, he goes for a run, watch some tv etc. If he's with his dad I get on with as much uni work as I can get done but need to look after the pony at least once a day.

Cooked or nicer breakfast. Sometimes in bed. Sometimes we go to a local bakery.
Cleaning and washing/ironing.
Maybe a bit of decorating or light diy or some craft.
On my phone a fair bit.
Might pop to the shops on a sat evening for a top up I needed.
Dinner and TV.

Pretty much the same on both days more or less in that order.

Entertain toddler until it becomes unbearable, walk to park. Stand around being cold, with occasional running to amuse/catch toddler. Feed child. Pray he naps. Do it again in the afternoon. Scroll through phone once he's in bed.

Wake up, have homemade latte (favourite part of the day), if I have work go to work which is in walking distance from my house.
Sit at work clock watching until home time. Debate wine and usually give in to said wine.
Eat something that isn't diet friendly.
Beat myself up about said food/takeaway whilst looking at my 1 stone lockdown gain/jelly belly.
Watch tv while fannying about on my phone.
Go to bed and repeat it all the next again day.

Also... What I do find is if I'm busy at work and feeling quite frazzled I'm not feeling quite as reset from the weekend as I would have previously. As that change of environment isn't happening. So even if previously I'd spent a weekend at home like this I would have felt I was changing my environment. But it's just endless home!

Relaxing with no social obligations and no expectations placed upon me. It's wonderful!

Bath on a Saturday morning, in 'normal' times we have karate/football runs. Then basically walks, watching films, eating all the things I don't eat all week, family dinner Saturday night that is always something v nice either take away or just a dinner that we wouldn't normally eat, plus lots of wine. Being more lenient on screen time and all getting up late...still liking weekends but bloody hell cannot wait to be able to 'do' stuff!

Work. Feeling guilty about not working enough even though there’s little else to do. Zoom with friends on Fridays sometimes. Zoom church. Family zoom. Zoom work. Always something on zoom. Sometimes I go for a walk. Batch cooking for the week. Ironing on Sundays.

Tomorrow I’m actually going to clean my old flat I moved out of a few weeks ago, and to a friend’s for lunch (allowed where I live). Exciting times!

We’ve been slowly working our way through these...

We use these in the day and then gin in the evening

Working today as a community nurse the roads have been rammed especially around the local retail park. Maybe because its mothers day tomorrow and people are getting a shop in but its not been this busy for months and months.

Went for a long walk with friends first time with them since lockdown.
Batch cooked meals freezer getting low on them.
Ironed DH’s work shirts DH made lunch
Bike ride with DH & dog down our lanes
Takeaway dinner.
Tomorrow beach walk planned meet up
Plant early potatoes
Watch rugby
Dinner DH making paella

We are doing up the house a bit and going to do some decorating so much time spent on t'internet browsing cupboards, paint, lights etc. Apart from that not a lot, maybe a walk, depending on weather and watch telly

Running or walk with DH/DS. Might take DS to the park and get a takeaway lunch from a cafe if the weather is nice.

Housework (I'm at work in the week).

Play with DS/do his spelling/reading.

Some lesson planning for work.

Watch series on dvd with DH.

Essentially, not much. Looking forward to being able to do a bit more soon!

If I’m not working, I sleep,eat,read and recover from working
My workload and stress has exponentially gone off the scale

Aaaaand repeat on a bloody loop since forever I wish there were normal maternity things to do / mums and tots groups / family visits etc etc etc

I have a lie in on Saturday and put off getting up as all my day will consist of is drudgery from all the housework I didn't bother doing all week cos I work FT. Each weeknight when I get in all I want to do is have a cup of tea, a chocolate biscuit and sit browsing shit online to try and take my mind off all the pandemic nonsense and uncertainty until I start cooking tea and putting a load of washing on or going to tesco (can't stand going at the weekend, it's chocka, so I go around 8pm in the evening on a week night).

Sunday I have less of a lie in because I wake up and realise that I didn't do half the stuff I planned to on Saturday because it's all just so BORING and groundhog day etc etc. So Sunday I have a mad run round trying to clean the bathroom and iron etc. Then I might facetime family.

Every single evening of the week consists of watching the telly with DH and the kids. Currently "Your Honor". I quite like it but a bit worried it's making us a bit boring.

Takeaway!
And wine

Saturday
Snuggle in bed with DS
Catch up on housework while DS plays
Take DS for a looooong walk- start and end walk at park or take away cafe

It’s big news if it’s a shopping delivery weekend.

Eating, housework, food shop on a Sunday, Netflix the rest of the hours away. Struggling to even be active at the moment with pregnancy aches and pains.

Drunk

Housework, reading, watching netflix, ironing, cooking, going for walk, trying to stay positive as the end is in sight.
