So covids hit us. 

My son has it and me. He's OK I am struggling. Just  made some honey and lemon to try and help my throat and chest. Oh is clear so far.

So we have had a v few quiet days. Bought batman toy for friends little one of amazon for £7 instead ofb£20 to go away for his June birthday.

My son was with me Thurs night afyer i picked him up and i tested him pisitive hebstayed all day Fri, back to ex husband then back sun then back yesterday and here till tomorrow.

We all felt rubbish tonight. So  i bought take away £22 enough food left for OH for tea with some pasta tomorrow. I am using yellow sticker fish and lidi broc bakes things and peas.  If I can cook. Today walking up and down theb stairs has made me out of breath. 

I am still on antibotics for a chest infection/throat infection last week so not sure what what. If it covid or chest infection whatever it's horrible.

My son should be going back to his dad's tomorrow lunch time and I plan to sleep the afternoon as I have ME/CFS anyway. But my anxiety increases when he sleeps over. I check on him a lot. I check his temp with inferred temp-so sosent wake him. Luckily he had few hrs ill with covid he's been fine. Me on other hand. Couldn't speak to mum and dad for more than 7/8 mins just coukd catch my breath between words. 

My dad very incredibly kindly bought me some manuka honey off amazon it came today and do feel its helped ease the cough. 


Anyway of to try and sleep xxx
