Anyone else hit-the-wall?

I have lots to be grateful for, can WFH, big house, big garden, laid back kids/DH and I had been coping well with lockdown.

Really slumped now though, finding it hard to get my head into gear for work and a bit teary and down. I'm being disciplined about work/family time and have downtime at weekends but still find myself dreading Monday morning. Oh to be able to go for a swim/see a film/have a day out.

Has anyone else found it really tough just lately? What's keeping you going?

Bloody hell I've hit a wall today. I'm normally a pretty positive make the best of it sort of person. Not today. I've shut myself away with decorating the spare room all day. 6 hours of painting on my own! Thank god DH brought lunch up and offered to wash the brushes 😂

I've actually pushed myself to get paperwork together to send to our QMS farm inspector. I have to send him a mound of stuff by email and then we have a virtual tour of the farm by WhatsApp. I won't be showing him the mound of dead sheep in the yard (joke!). The pet lambs are being weaned off their bucket and are yelling outside. I keep looking to see if my ram with the broken leg is being bullied by the others. He'll get his cast off in a couple of weeks which will be a relief. Still missing DH but maybe he can come up here if restrictions are relaxed because he can work from home. Still worried about test results but what will be will be. to all of you. Off for wine in a bit Cheers

Derxa I didn't follow why your DH isn't home but I hope he can't get there sometime soon. You must be really missing him with everything going on.
How odd to be inspected by WhatsApp! I am part intrigued part horrified at how much life has shifted to a virtual level.
I worry about how much will remain and never go back.

On a more cheerful note, how lovely to have lambs around.

Yesterday i was showing my DC clips of the llama making food deliveries and goats running amok in Llandudno, and thinking how nice it would be to be around animals.

I had stopped checking the news for a while and was better for it but I find myself reading a lot at the moment, looking for signs that things might be changing. Despite the inept handing of the easing of lockdown, I am desperate for progress.

Derxa I didn't follow why your DH isn't home but I hope he can't get there sometime soon I'm at our farm in Scotland and he is at the family home in England. I was up here for the lambing and then lockdown happened.

Ah ok, that makes sense. A long time to be apart.
