I didn't do my room at all. Instead I fell asleep sorting post.......I jut can't bring myself to sort it out - my room I mean. Yesterday was ok I went shopping and found it easy to go in the morning. Few queues and all well stocked. Irony I am going to M and S my most hated shop! but it is smaller and manages the queues very well. I came home and went outside for fresh air. It was difficult with mum yesterday and today. not for any particular reason - well the house mainly but it is unbelievably difficult to keep 6 foot away from Mum all the time and still move things and sort things. Plus she just says how impossible everything is and when it is the only voice you heard it is so hard to keep going. Plus we are SO different regarding how we do stuff, I want everything sorted and organised and binned/donated. She has ALWAYS been a cupboard shover and a put a wayer. This means she is the only one who ever knows where anything is and there is no pattern at all.
So instead of doing any house stuff yesterday I planted some seeds and some of the plants I bought from the pet shop and spent a lot of time in the garden.
Right now I am going back out there. The Daily briefing was on the face it the same as ever but reading between the lines unfortunately I think things are going to get worst or at best continue the same. I am listening very closely to the Chief Medical Advisor, not Matt Hancock. Poor Man.
Any how Best get on.

I never listen to the politicians at all, but the science people are good usually. Chris Whitty and JVT are my favourite, but Jenny Harries is also very good. You can tell that the politicians have no clue about the science, whereas these people obviously do.Not giving up

I wrote one post that was just self pitying whining. I am fine really, just tired and hungry. And I have annoyed myself by being unproductive today aside from shopping. I have ordered Linen trousers from Amazon as post Kon mari I have limited casual clothes and barely any for work (!) (honestly two skirts!) and wearing pyjamas is not helping me feel good. I need to look like I am presentable! Get to grips with all this crap!!

Today I woke up feel of beans. It wore off. Huge amounts of stuff to do the house is a big puzzle I cannot solve. I can't escape it either.
Mum is ok but I must protect myself and at times simply be more grown up. I miss my friends so much.Nevertheless she persisted.4 -
Today was better. I moved things. I ache all over and am shattered. I have loads to do tomorrow.
I have come to the conclusion that I might own too much stuff but that half my problem is the lack of organisation in the house.
hope everyone is ok.

I have a sore throat, this seems to happen periodically. Still hungry, still smell things!
I don't feel well but haven't been outside all day so that isn't surprising. I have had an upset tummy for a few days. No dog walk today. Barely any steps.
Made a pasta bake for dinner.
Oh had my first Zoom meeting today. It was hell (and did stress me out a lot - state of house etc)
hope everyone is doing better than me today!!
