Just thought I would make a post to ask how all the parents are doing?
We was supposed to be going on holiday Sunday. It's also my birthday on tuesday. I accepted 3 weeks ago the holiday was not happening. Sad for the kids. But we will go when it's all safe to do so.
I know it can annoy people to hear people moaning about stuff that is pathetic compared to the affects of this virus. Therefore I want people to feel free to do that on here. Hopefully people won't feel the need to point out we need to get a grip etc.
I'm feeling flat this last few days. I've gone for two walks this week. It's been 2 weeks since I've seen anyone outside the house. I've not been near a shop etc. I've been in touch with my friend and family but it's not the same.
I keep thinking of how life was a month ago. I miss the normality of the weeks. I miss taking my child to school. Walking home with my toddler and ringing my mum for a catch up. I miss meeting my friend for the school run.
Also I'm spending £40 more a week on shopping. I was saving up for next year's holiday (first world problems) I had managed to get our shopping down to £70 a week. Now I'm having to buy expensive brands because the usual is out of stock. Plus making sure we've got abit extra after all the panic buyers . A couple of weeks ago the supermarkets were bare as you will know.. I also pay 81p a pint for milk from the milkman to cut down on shop visits as partner worked away until this week! Happy to do this and so greatful to the milkman! But I think it's 30p a pint at a shop.
I'm not looking for sympathy. I have it easy compared to most. I'm just having a moan.
I'm mainly feeling extremely sad at the death figures. I am so sad to see how much damage this horrible virus has caused. I'm scared it will take someone I love away. I'm scared it will kill me or my partner and leave our little kids without us. I know that's a ridiculous thought. But there's a man on the next street in intensive care with it. It's on our doorstep now! I'm trying my best to be upbeat. Hopefully going to get the paddling pool out tomorrow for the kids.
Oh also being with 2 children 24/7 for two weeks has been abit much lol. I love them to pieces but it's so full on.
Is anyone else feeling sluggish, sickly and tired from the lack of being productive? I'm scared I'll forget how to walk after this! I used to do 25 miles on average week.
