How actually do you feel?

How do you mean?

The masks etc.

I suppose it’s that or have no interaction at all and be in different rooms in the house, that is even stranger. I guess that’s why I took a pic and posted. It’s wierd.

I get it. I really don’t want to get C19. The chances are I would be absolutely fine, but the possibility of serious long-term after effects is enough reason for me to take such precautions if my FoL was infected.

It must be a strange situation Ritchie, especially for kids, but that seems a perfectly sensible way to have a tiny bit of normality.

The gloves are a waste of time and money Ritchie, just make sure everyone, especially Ava, is washing their hands a lot.

You have my utmost sympathies, I had to go through all this shit with FoL#2 when she was on the last flight out of Italy right at the beginning of this fucking nightmare, it’s horrendous.

This really is the oddest year, for us, really extreme ups and downs. Absolutely everything is changing. Ava is now at this mental school, I’ve been made redundant. We are going through/are at the end of Alex’s EHCP deal which hopefully after the tribunal on Nov 2nd will mean he goes to a specialist school. Even our family car has died and we’ve had to get something else, which may seem insignificant but its always been there reliable, through thick and thin.

I guess that I must be growing up, getting better at accepting. At other times in my life there is no way I’d have coped with so much change. It would have felt like everything is going wrong. I really dont know what’s next but sitting in our living room with masks and gloves on, is starting to feel normal and might be something that we go through more than once before this is done…

You don’t want to be doing that mate, it’s the first step along the road to getting old.

This is OK. Accepting is Acceptable.

Our experience has been very different to yours and Kerri’s, we’ve both worked right through, albeit Claire was working from home until the current academic year started. It’s been difficult at times, but if you can pull together it tends to work out.

But I absolutely understand where you’re coming from, you’re dealing with some proper life changing stuff, but I think you suspected the job situation thing at least was coming anyway, so you were actually already subconsciously prepared to deal with that.

Ava will be fine, she’ll make sure of that, she’s properly driven and ambitious. I’m sure the situation with Alex will be more complex, but when Ava goes back to St Trinians, you’ll have the time to concentrate on that.

Hang in there mate.

I feel properly burned out- feels like it’s both crept up on me and hit me like a ton of bricks at the same time.

I felt exactly the same a couple of weeks ago, had to take a few days off sick.

I was completely wiped out. Didn’t even have the energy to go out and buy beer.

What’s up, how did you end up feeling like this?

I had a dose of the screaming blatters plus power-chunders yesterday morning - no idea what caused it. It was a fucking close-run thing at one point, as I was puking so hard I nearly arse-pissed all over the floor…

Right as rain today until I laughed at summat - all the muscles in my chest and abdomen are stiff and achy from the effort of yesterdays clearout.

Age is fucking cruel…

At least 8000iu of Vitamin D3. Wake up fresh as a daisy. The sun has gone for the year.

For this? Fuck knows…

A change.

Something more than ~4 hours kip tonight might do the trick - fat fucking chance…

Yeah, I’m terrible with little sleep. I know some people can do it but I really feel it. 6 might not be too bad but less is a killer for me.
