Mega wobble...where did that come from...

Our youngest daughter is a teacher. Today was her rota turn to go into work. I text her to say ‘hope your day went okay’. She replied saying one of the school governors had died from Covid-19 last weekend.

I’ve had a bit of a wobble tonight. Suddenly it all seems a bit more scary.

I’d read a couple of very upsetting news items on line today concerning young families and now wished I hadn’t.

CherryCezzy, snap, same day, same letter, same satirical sense of humour.

I'm actually feeling OK now and that letter secured me a delivery slot from Iceland today!

I've wobbled but haven't cried but completely empathise with it. My wobble came on Tuesday, I got out of bed feeling as flat as a pancake and that was before I found out I'd been sent the letter. The one that puts me in, what I'm calling 'high security solitary confinement'. I'm calling it that so I can ridicule the ridiculous (but necessary) circumstances and think of it in comedic terms like that fabulous sitcom with Ronnie Barker. Maybe it's just me but a satirical sense of things is what is keeping me sane and together this minimising any wobbles. Be kind to yourselves every one of you ??️???

I do empathise, I was a bit emotional watching Inspector Montalbano last weekend. I know that sounds daft.Thinking of happier times made me sad. Im dreading Easter, we always had our family together for a dinner, not this year.

I thought it was just me! I have needed to sob in our walk-in wardrobe, sometimes it is so much to bear, Farview, and we don't have the usual distractions of everyday life. I don't like DH to see me cry over such silly things (sweet stories of compassion/sacrifice/kindness, etc. etc.), he already thinks I'm a softie. When he gives me a hug, it starts me off again! I find afternoons worst, and sometimes the day seems endless - but there again, we are still here, the sun has been shining and spring is in the air. We all need a group cuddle, hankies at the ready! Love to you all.

Good night God bless wobblers...tomorrow is another day???

Definitely no shame in tears.
I love talking to my Dds and DGs on FaceTime. I’m jolly and upbeat and then burst into tears when we have finished the call.

I think we are all allowed a wobble at the moment. Such simple things seem to set them off sometimes. I had a few tears with Paul O'G and the old dog last night such a happy ending.
Take care everyone.

Having one of those days also. My daughter( Nhs nurse) sent home 6 days ago with cough, fever etc. SIL and 2 GC’s in 14 days isolation with her. Drove over and dropped off groceries on doorstep. Then waved in the window to them. I just about held it together looking at the kids through the window, blew them kisses and then wept for the 10 mile car journey home. Composed myself to get back into house without neighbours seeing the blubbering wreck I am. Then arrived home to lovely letters and drawings from my little GC who live 150 miles away and not seen for 4 weeks. That set off round 2 of tears and snot. Now it’s overwhelming anger that despite all the talk of testing there is still no testing available for my daughter and her family and so many like them. SIL on enforced 14 day leave from fire service as no test available. Sorry, that’s my moan over. Stay safe everyone x

Heard the song 'He ain't heavy he's my brother'. Shed a tear. Very apt song for our NHS

Same here today, I felt like I had 'hit a wall' this morning.
I was due to organise a big event in the Irish Pub nearby tonight, 60/70 people, raffles, fun quiz and lots of fun. First really major event of the year.
I did my shopping this morning and walked home past the Pub, got home and went to bed for 2 hours, just felt awful.
Early night with Midsomer Murders tonight, take care everyone

It was yesterday that I had a " bit of a do " with an imaginary sore throat ? I don't know where the thought came from at all.
Overthinking is what a lot of us are doing right now I think.

All's well today though as I saw my GS, from a distance, on his way to work for a 3 to 11 shift, aww, but I wanted to hug him. He gets a lift with 2 other workmates.

Well done Luckygirl with your " windfall ". My D is in for one from her mortgage company, but it's a PPI and she got word this week that they hadn't forgotten because of the backlog. It's over 10 years overpayment. I love hearing about money being owed to people, it makes a change.

That was me yesterday - sparked off by a letter telling me I have several £K due to be returned to me from PIP payments. Why would that reduce me to a weeping heap? - they needed me to copy wills, death certificate etc. and I thought I was done with having to wade through all that.

It just hits randomly - but today is a better day thank goodness.

to all struggling at the moment.

Glad it's not just me..thank you all...good to know that we can come on GN and just say how we are feeling...⚘⚘⚘for all of you..

I’m sure his letter will be lightening the mood at guide dog HQ

DH has probably already done it, SirCh.

He sighs and rolls his eyes every time it comes on and I grab a tissue.

I’d be firing off a letter of complaint if I were you merlot

I'm tearful over silly things as well. The advert for guide dogs makes me cry and shout f***ing b***tards at the telly.

Why couldn't the advert makers let that lovely little girl score a goal for her blind dad?

Yes, I know it's not real by the way.

I cried earlier at the news item of the musicians playing Ave Maria to Covid patients in China (I think it was). I’m been fine up until today but now having a bit of a wobble for some reason. You’re not alone farview, these are truly worrying times

Farview, , you are not alone, so many strong, resourceful people are feeling overwhelmed just now in these unprecedented times.
I hadn't cried since my Mum died seven years ago, but I've found myself in tears recently, worrying about my family, particularly DS2 who is frontline NHS.

Take care.

I cried when I spotted the rainbows painted by the school kids and displayed in windows!

I know that feeling of crying over something silly. My friend told me about how our local supermarket have pulled out the stops for her and her dh and we had a little sob together over the phone. I never thought I'd cry over a Tesco delivery!

Ah bless you farview.
I know how you feel as the longer this goes on the more i miss my family hugs and loves so when they do kind things i also cry.
As my Grandfather used to say "theres no shame in tears my love".
Wise words.

I really am not a cryer but I’m finding I’m really quite tearful at the moment. I can cry over anything. A particular piece of music that reminds me of something or someone. A memory. A photo. Something sad on TV or the internet. I can’t remember when I last felt so emotional. Good job I’m locked down alone so I can just do it without feeling stupid.
