Hi everyone,
We went to Portishead to stay with my other halfs parents on Thursday and so that he could attend his granddads funeral.
After he got back from the funeral I got a call from the man at work with coronavirus symptoms who I had been in close contact with - he tested positive and I was told to self-isolate, although because the testing was so slow it had now been 7 days since I had been in contact with him and I only had to isolate for 7 days longer. At first I was panicked about the virus but I did some reading online and apparently most people develop symptoms within 7 days. I'm on day 9 now and still no fever (we bought a new thermometer - thanks to everyone who responded to my big list of worries and tried to calm me down - thermometer was definitely the first step!!!) or any other symptoms. I know I'm not entirely out of the wood just yet but starting to feel pretty confident I've got off without contracting it!
So my OH got to go to his granddads funeral which is the most important thing. He doesn't have to isolate, at the moment it's just me because I don't have symptoms. I didn't get to accompany my mum today to say goodbye to my grandma who is dying which is really sad. But a family friend went up to meet mum instead so she was not alone. I'm hoping to see nana next Sunday as it still seems like she might have a couple of weeks left.
And we can still get civil partnered on Saturday as I will be out of quarantine by then!
I spoke to the HR lady at work and we have agreed that I can take some boxes from the schools archives, take them home, and work on organising the archive from home for my last few weeks! I'm going to be pulled out of my toxic team and good riddance. I plan to just relax as much as I can now.
And we had an offer on our flat! And waiting to hear back about an offer we made on a house, but they are very keen to sell and have had little other interest - it looks like we might be able to move before Christmas!
So, suddenly all my problems which were causing me a total meltdown are close to being solved - we still have to work on some issues with the flat (like fixing the window) before the survey, but other issues like the noisy pub are not a problem now!
I'm so happy! Thank goodness my luck has changed, I was a proper state earlier in the week.
Sorry for saying I'd been exposed to coronavirus and then disappearing for 5 days!
Updating weeks as I'm now 30 and into the final 10!
@didslysquiddlydoo @SunStruck good luck - for all we know you might have dropped a baby since your last post - let us know when things start going! xxx
