The Last Furlong

Such a sad situation with MIL 😥

I’m like you I’m up and down right now, more down if I’m honest. I miss my colleagues at work, my friends, my DS and the GKs and life in general 😥 It’s just so horrible 😩

But we need to be strong 💪 and keep going regardless- we can do this 💪

Today I am having WIFI issues, the landline is dead when I pick up the phone , the WIFI is intermittent . Broadband provider says should be fixed by Monday night, it's a line fault.

It's driving me mad keep going down then back up. Luckily I don't work Fridays so can tether to my phone when I want internet . We all need internet, more than ever at the moment.

A shorter walk at lunch as it started throwing it down so 30 mins it was.

Some people where I live getting food parcels, then giving it away to relatives , not good at all. The people in question go out in there car everyday so definitely don't need it .

I hope your WIFI gets sorted soon. We were having trouble with ours on Tuesday but V!rg!n were having problems for some reason.

Sorry about your meltdown. Life is so odd at the moment and it's very unsettling. Your MIL's funeral won't have helped as that will have made you more emotional. All the activities and people that make us feel secure have been taken away from us, so it's no wonder we feel wobbly at times. I do think that we'll have a less severe lockdown at some point soon and you'll be able to see close family again, so hang in there. Just take one day at a time.

We're all relying so heavily on the internet right now it's no surprise there've been problems. Our weather here has been odd today, one minute sunny, the next raining. It was glorious first thing when I took the dog on the park. Sounds like the good weather is returning next week when I'm back at work - just typical!

Sorry about you not being able to go to your MIL's funeral and you feeling overwhelmed. It is such a surreal situation that it does feel like you don't know whether you are coming or going or what is going to happen next. A very strange feeling and not nice at all to be in. Internet is strained I think. I know a few providers have had to downgrade people's speeds etc because they can't deal with the demand.
Hope you are ok. Take care x

The funeral situation is just heartbreaking- firstly there’s far too many and secondly the amount of attendees and the social distancing if you do get to pay your respects just goes against human nature. I’m not surprised you had a moment or 3 of sadness. I really think the grey skies have made folk feel down too. I’ve heard so many people say the same since weekend.....myself included. I’ve watched something on tv though where some of the first cities affected are leading a much more normal life again - so there is hope. We will get together in big shopping mall again one day 🍕🍷👍

Yesterday I woke up with a headache and a cough . I felt very tired as well , didn't sleep well. I am being tested for the virus tomorrow, so need to stay in for a week . I will have to drive to the testing area which isn't far. I think I just have a cold but better to find out.
