Alone for the first time since Feb 2020 and I am weirded out completely

[doubleshotespresso]

Not sure why I am posting this really, been an incredibly tough year for all I know. Our child was unable to return to school so we have basically the three of us been home for the whole time, relentless schedule of wfh, home school, trying to keep on top of the house, endless video calls and seriously challenging negotiations with local authority re educational provision or lack of it.
DP and DC have gone to my parents for the day and left an hour ago (in our bubble now before anybody asks).
I have a neverending to do list. Where to start?
The silence is so deafening and I feel tearful, but have no reason to cry...
Sorry just needed to vent I think! I am shaking at just how broken I feel.

It has been a tough year, and so strange for all of us. Little things - like being home alone - that were nothing just over a year ago are now momentous in some households

I hope you've actually put your to do list to one side and maybe just enjoyed doing nothing. It sounds like it's been a long time since you were last able to do so.

Thanks. Well I put a bit of music on and did a good thorough clean up here all thru the house.
Made a coffee and sat down and just woke up with it cold next to me 😂

Time for a hot one then!

I hope your nap did you some good. It sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

I think when we're going high speed a lot, cooped up in our bubbles and when we're (subconsciously) looking out for anything that could go wrong in the Covid world, it becomes very odd to be alone and just stop. So I agree, that you probably just need to relearn the positives of those things by experiencing them. YANBU

Very true thanks all. Strange but very productive day
But yes I think I need to sort of reset myself a bit, I suppose we have been so cooped up so so long now it was just odd to only hear noise from outside.
