How to occupy isolation?

2 replies

Tested positive today (awaiting PCR result but no doubt about it looking atthe two Lateral Flows I did, my entire class team are now positive)
I HATE being confined. Plus the nightmare of finding someone to walk my dog... who is a tricky character.

I feel crap. Had my booster on Saturday , not knowing I was infected and blamed my fever on that. Now I feel too rough to play my piano or do anything that takes effort, and I'm used to walking miles daily with my dog and with my job!

How do I occupy myself?

I wondered that too - thought it would be great, I'd get loads of planning done, finally get my subject leadership paperwork up to date, sort out resources for children working out of year group etc.

4 hours after going for the PCR, I was hit by a metaphorical bus.

What I've done:

Sat on the sofa.
Watched two whole series of Sex and the City.
Finished watching Sex Education.
Watched 6 films.
Did half a jigsaw.
Read two magazines.
Posted crap on here.
Read some twitter.
Made myself some basic healthy food and have had to have a lie down after each cooking session.
Read to the child but had to stop after one chapter.
Tidy the house a bit, nap for 30 minutes.
Watched two series of What We Do in the Shadows
Watched the most recent series of Who Do You Think You Are?
A bit of stretching on a yoga mat.

No energy for anything else.

Get someone to walk your dog?

Picking the yoga mat off the floor made my headache about three hundred times worse.

I haven't had a sick day ever. I'm not an ill person. I'm ill right now.
