starting to feel all over the place.

I'm feeling more fed up over the last couple of weeks. Partly I think it's because suddenly friends locally are now all seeing their families, (following the rules) because they live quite close. I'm very pleased for them of course, but although it's not a nice thing, I admit to feeling a tad envious about all their lovely get togethers.

Our family are a good 3 hours drive away, so normally I would stay over for a few days. It is too much for me to drive there and back in a day so it will be a good while before I see them. Particularly my son who is a paramedic in London. I would so love to see him but it may be a long time yet. I long to give him a hug.

We are quite remote here and OH isn't bothered at all by not seeing people. I am though. I must make more effort to get out, even if on my own.

I'm the same, I rarely get dressed before 1pm. There's no point. I'm concerned that I'm piling weight on and not getting excersise. I did walk for 6000 steps one day last week but was so tired I had to rest for 2 days, excersise diets make me feel better, sitting onvthe sofa drinking coffee does

mobee46, I feel the same as you do. I also have a nice home, DH and I are reasonably healthy. My family seem ok really but I'm not sure I am. Seems as if all the plans we made are on hold or we'll never carry them out - although I'm sure I'm being unduly pessimistic. So easy to feel low at the moment. I could cry at the drop of a hat and often do.

Tomorrow is another day

So pleased to know it's not just me feeling down sometimes ! I'm the best at keeping busy but have to admit to having some very dark days when I could just sit and cry . I have a nice home , a garden , a husband and my health , so consider myself very lucky . I do worry about my family and their well being though . Particularly one grandson who isn't coping with the isolation at all. 16 ,an only child ,he spends a lot of time alone . We support him as much as we are allowed , phonecalls and messages but it breaks my heart to know he is so unhappy an anxious . With no education prospects until possibly September the next 3 months for me to worry about him just stretch endlessly in front of me .

Just like Nannylovesshopping it's the weather with me. Last few weeks I was quite upbeat, positive, doing all sorts. As soon as the weather changed I became depressed once again, feeling like crying at the drop of an hat, which I don't normally do. Let's hope we'll have some sunny warm weather again to help with the lockdown blues!

It's quite normal to have one or two down days and I hate weekends at the best of times, even though they haven't been as noticeable these last few months with every day rolling into each other.

I've been lagging behind as I'm always up and washed or showered by 10am at the latest, now it's getting later and later and I'm even breakfasting before I'm dressed now. It's always been my routine in case of callers but now that I know there won't be any callers, I don't bother. Everything's gone to pot.

I'm cheering myself up by watching Mrs Bucket on Drama channel although I've seen it umpteen times it still brings a smile. The golfing Major Now daddy's missing in another episode. There has to be an outlet in all this.

A duvet day is perfectly OK in these weird times. Last week, I was up a step ladder washing guttering and down pipes; today, sat on sofa watching Catch up TV and at this moment still watching Guys and Dolls. Weekends are the worst, I think. Don’t beat yourself up!

I don’t know this miserable old bag who is typing this, a week ago, I was gardening like a spring chicken, mowing apology of a grass area, cutting down a tree, sorting out seedling, potting on my rapidly growing daturas, sitting in glorious sunshine with a large gin, good book and the spaniel snoring gently.
It’s the weather for me every time, have a changed personality when the sun shines, have done sod all this week, apart from grumble, no energy, lethargic and downright lazy and eating for England☹️

No your fine it’s just one of those days. It’s the weather here that’s making me lethargic I’m embarrassed to say I’ve only moved off the sofa to make lunch and to the loo, DH just gone for a walk but I can’t be bothered .
I was so excited to see the grandchildren last week in the sun, but now of course it’s too cold and wet to sit in the garden, so goodnesss knows when we’ll see them again. Your certainly not on your own.

No don't worry travelsafar today isn't the start of a slippery slope for you. I've had the odd day like that too.

Yesterday just seem to drag and I was sooo bored that Mr. S. and I just went for a drive in the country side listening to music.

The only thing I have to do for the rest of the day like you, is prepare our evening meal and it hasn't stopped raining here today, which doesn't help does it.

Don't worry, you're just having a 'bad' day; it will pass.

We all get good days and bad days. Right now, because of lockdown every day feels the same. There isn't even church bells at the moment to remind us that it's Sunday. Tomorrow you might wake early, full of energy and eager to get on with your day. Relax and enjoy what's left of today.
