My journey to a debt free life

OBL - If those vieus symptoms are lingering, do stay off a bit longer.
Yes, all the selfish idiots who ignored the rules have contributed to this 2nd wave of infections, but I think the main problem is the uselessness of the Track & Trace system. If this is not seriously fixed during the coming month, it will be another opportunity wasted. Boasting about daily testing targets is meaningless if nothing is done with the results.
It's making me so angry as it feels like we locked down from March to June for nothing.

I agree the track and trace system needs looking at,I think it would be better if they handed it over to the local authorities and labs instead of using it as an excuse to line their mates pockets,the actual people who are doing the contacting are very thorough though, I kept missing their call because I was asleep but they managed to track me down and were very thorough in ascertaining where I had been and who I had been in contact with plus which ones actually needed to isolate which in my case turned out to be no one 😊

Another restless night but I did sleep more than the night before 🎉🎉  I didn't get up until 12 though🙀🙀 Today I am feeling ok so that's a bonus. I have cracked on with my plans to sort the house because it was making me depressed sitting in a mess. So the kitchen has been cleaned and tidied, I've polished the living room and hoovered downstairs, I've had the windows open to air the rooms out  as well , I did have a couple of tea breaks while I was doing this so did pace myself. I got a bit out of breath doing the hoovering but I took it really slowly. I felt good to be doing something useful instead of sitting on my bum.Im drawing the line at doing the ironing though,I think that might be a step too far 😀 I just need to iron a uniform and some clothes for tomorrow and I'm good to go
Im going to go to work tomorrow because I need to get back to normal, it's not doing me any good sitting at home, Im in clinics all day and will mainly be learning how to use our new computer system, I missed the launch week because I was sick so I've missed all the days we had people to support us in getting used to going digital, I need to learn this as soon as possible because I'm going to be in clinics soon without support and won't know what to do. Someone is going to give me and another person who has also been off a refresher session so that will help too, there are normally only two of us in clinics but tomorrow there will be three so I will be an extra person,it's the ideal day to go back and like I say I won't know how I'm going to be unless I try it, if I find it too much I will just have to come home early

Are you sure you are fit enpough to return to work? It doesnt sound like it if you are feeling ill after a shopping trip. I understand you feel guilty because colleagues are struggling ( been there and done that)  but if you go back too soon you will end up being off again and possibly set back your eventual recovery. People recover at different rates and pushing yourself will not do you or colleagues any good in the long run.

I think it might have been a combination of being too warm in the shops, we were both thirsty and I was hungry, plus all the people because it was busy, I started to feel better after I had some lunch. DD on the other hand had to go and lie down but she isn't going back to work tomorrow because her boss won't let her 😊

I agree OBL. You musn't go back to work if you're still not well enough. Covid-19 is a nasty virus and can cause relapses. See how you are today.

I feel angry with silly people who don't follow lockdown rules as this second lockdown has to be caused by those people. If people wore masks, socially distanced and used hand gel the virus wouldn't be spreading like mad again. Part of the trouble are the conspiracy theories online that foolish people believe, plus those who think they're immune and don't care about anyone but themselves  😡. We've gone from Tier 1 to lockdown in the South West which is a bit of a shock to the system. Mind you we were days away from Tier 2 where I live, but still!

Thankfully I feel ok again today apart from a lingering headache, I'm being active today in the hope it will tire me out enough to sleep tonight. The lockdown won't make a lot for difference to me because I'm not really going anywhere anyway, I mainly go to work and food shopping, Im gutted we now won't get to the beach with B but it's just one of  those things, I'm thinking if it carries on for longer I will have an excuse to have to go Christmas shopping and can just give everyone money 😀

I hope you have a good day at work tomorrow and feel ok being there . At least you can come home if you aren't so good. I think you are right not to have your DGS just yet until you are nearer full health. My niece is still unwell this is week 5 now , but she is getting better every week. I am glad you'd house feels more comfortable to be in.

I hope all goes well at work tomorrow and you survive.

Your poor niece must have had it quite badly😟 I think you have to be careful once you've had it because it sounds like it comes back again and again. I'm monitoring myself really carefully, today I actually feel the best I've felt since August when I got the chest infection, my energy levels feel normal for the first time in weeks, I have a slight headache which has been plaguing me on and off since I got ill but I get headaches anyway so it might be just me and my chest is definitely not the same as it was, I get out of breath doing anything vigorous such as drying myself after a shower or walking upstairs but hopefully that will improve as time goes on,I do hope your niece recovers fully soon xx

Thanks,I'm kind of looking forward to it, I'm working with two ladies who are friends and we usually have a laugh together so I think it might cheer me up, Im starting to feel a bit low from being at home and not being able to do anything, mind you I've nay got until Thursday to live it up so had better make the most of it😀
