What have you actually done today?

[Herecomethedaffodils]

I'm at home with the family, husband and 3 teenagers. Had a long walk this morning to try and gear me up for a productive day and just realised I've done nothing really. There's loads I could be doing, ironing, cleaning, baking, decorating etc but I'm really struggling to focus and get into things. I feel lethargic and anxious as I'm sure so many do. It's not that I can't think of things to do, I just find myself not doing them, for any longer than 10 minutes anyway!!!!
Kick me up the backside please.

Went to the early slot at Sainsbury’s for NHS staff.

Called my elderly neighbour the my Mum and Dad. Went to the pharmacy for Mum who has cystitis.

Had a major sort out of the fridge to make sure I’m not missing food that is about to go out of date and then did a meal plan for a week.

Read a bit then accidentally had a 4 hour nap!!!

Finished my book, played with play dough, FaceTimed my friend with DD, read stories, made fried rice, played in the permanent fort under our dining table, browsed mumsnet while DD watched an ungodly amount of Peppa Pig.

Oh we also coloured in a cardboard box for a while

OP don't be to hard on yourself! We will all have days like this ahead of us. I got up, showered,l and dressed, cleaned up the mess from dinner last night and haven't moved from sofa apart from to do a jigsaw for a bit. Tea soon then some films and probably go to bed way later than I normally would

I've done nothing all day really. I've made a pasta bake and one load of washing then sat and wAtched tv. I'm still working full time at the moment as my job is classed as essential.

Stayed in bed till 10.30 with DH, spring cleaned our bedroom, cleared out years of junk. Got all the spare bedding out, binned loads! Cleared the debris in the garden that had piled up from redoing kids bedrooms. Our loca tips are all closed so had to just pile all the crap at the bottom of the garden hidden under a tarp. Not a bad day in all, now sitting with a G+T.
