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.

Today I cleaned the house, went for a walk for an hour with my youngest, cooked dinner, that’s about it.

I did some of my jigsaw
Prepped and cooked shin of beef and ox kidney to make steak and kidney stew and pies which bubbled away for three hours and froze in portions.
Made some banana bread with some manky looking bananas
Made a bread and butter pudding.
Read the Telegraph and Times which arrived with my supermarket delivery and half done the crosswords.
Feet up to catch up with MN

Watched all 4 episodes of ultra orthodox on Netflix which was very entertaining although the last episode went a bit silly. Fascinating look at the lives of Hasidic Jews. Not much else besides normal playing with toddler cleaning etc

Thank you @spiffing

Not much really. Hours walk alone. FaceTimed my brother and family and encouraged DC to zoom call their friends and FaceTime granny and that all worked really well. Played game with DC. Cooked lunch and dinner, from scratch, with extra for freezer. Had a g and t and some wine. FaceTimed a friend in another country at the end of week 3 of lockdown. Laundry, looked for online grocery slots 🤣 Talked to friend from balcony as they walked past. Oh yes, hiit and yoga too. Actually sounds like I did more than I thought!

Had a lie in
Dragged the DC out for a walk
Did some gardening, cleaned garden furniture
Clipped DH's hair
Did a jigsaw (DC did karate practice and played video games)
Phoned my mum
Made dinner
Now watching Whitney and drinking wine
Been a pretty nice day really

Walked dogs with youngest DC, watched a movie, started a jigsaw, played ping pong (have converted dining table), laundry, cleaned the patio, phone call to DM, brief indoor workout on the elliptical. Loads of wasting time on news, Twitter, mumsnet etc.

Filmed a presentation for uni, took kids for a 45 minute walk, phoned mum for food shop list, made tom and ricotta pasta sauce from scratch, straightened my hair and put on make up and played 20 minutes of fortnite, much to everyone's amusement. Feels like nothing at all, yet we are all feeling worn out for some reason.

Tiny house, two argumentative teenagers. Have done sod all.

I hate this sodding lockdown.

I can't concentrate. I feel like I'm waiting on something to happen all the time, it's a weird feeling.

Lay in until 10 then we all had a big breakfast. I spent about 3 hours cleaning as I've had hardly any time to do housework this week with working from home and helping the kids with schoolwork. This afternoon dh and i packed some orders for the business we run from home. About to do a girls night online so that will take up the evening. Teens are mostly slobbing around today.

Went to large Tesco at 6.15 for once a week food shop.had to queue even then! Came home had breakfast, went back to bed (was up at 5.20) prepared lunch ,did some washing ,watched TV,went on MN! I think we should not feel guilty if we chill for a bit .The mental worry of CV being shown on TV ,is tiring and we need to try and keep our spirits up .These are unusual times .Lots to watch on TV ,DH has mowed the lawn and we have a new ball for our dog so she can have fun in the garden rather than her 2nd walk which is not essential right now.
