My get-up-and-go has gone ?

Oh MayBeMaw I think my get uo and go is hiding with yours.

I am laying in bed, scrolling GN when I should be in the kitchen preparing dinner for 13 family members coming for a late twixmas lunch.

It's just that time of year - always happens to me - roll on Spring!

???I think 13 people coming to lunch would have galvanised me into action - if only to hide the laundry!

I agree, I would even have set Alexa to get me out of bed earlier.

Hetty those animals are gorgeous.

and her

this one too

(so, at first, no pictures seemed to appear - and now you have them twice - just proves I'm not really awake!)

Charleygirl5, they are lovely, sweet old girls. They get me up for breakfast and I have to go for walks, too, so very good for me.

Morning Maw and others posting here. I’m in the no get up and go camp. I’ve got a cold sore, headache, feel tired and sorry for myself. Just did a negative LFT and been living a careful life but that virus does seem able to sneak up on people.

I’ve invited the children (3 adults 4 children one dog) for NYD lunch and friends for tea after a long walk NYE. We haven’t seen some of the children/grandchildren because they were locked in with covid over Christmas. I veer between excitement and joy that I’ll see good friends nye and family nyd and just wanting to curl up with my dogs and a book

It’s gone on and in hasn’t it, and we aren’t out of the pandemic yet. Ok, let’s all sing ‘always look on the bright side of life’

Adorable pets Maybe and Hetty.
Should we join them and just snooze the day away?
My little one is doing similar, not just today, but every day.

I was only saying yesterday that I can't be bothered to do anything these days.

I'm usually on a high at this time of year with Christmas behind me but can't find any motivation at the moment

Mine feels exactly the same

You’re not alone. My motivation has disappeared. The constant rain hasn’t helped. Very mild today but windy too. I feel I really ought to get out in the garden and do a bit but ….

Found the old cot/basket in the loft but the dog won’t let us throw it out. I’m rather glad, for sentimental reasons

Glad it's not just me.......I've definitely lost my mojo.

Same here, lack of fresh air, too much food. Now sat with doors wide open into the garden, very mild, no rain, and breezy. Hoping the get up and go will breeze in very soon.

Count me in. My brain has turned to porridge. At this time of year I'm usually making plans for events and holidays but no point these days as no certainties any more.
My bossy Fitbit keeps me moving (or I feel sooo guilty!) Sigh. I might put on a washing later. Maybe.

Ah yes…washing…a reason to get going ?

Glad it's not just me then! I've become an expert procrastinator; I can come up with a dozen excuses not to do something. I make plans and arrangements to do stuff, meet friends, go somewhere but when the time comes, I have to force myself to actually do it. My mantra these days is "cba".

Same here, even before all this. I do things and go out only because my DH pushes me to do it, otherwise it would be easier just to mope around. That’s why I believe you need a dog if you are on your own, just to get you up, out and about, and preserve your sanity.

Really?
Get a dog, they said, keeps you fit, gets you out.
Yeah right

So glad it’s not just me....trouble is I do need some as I get up ( very slowly) and down the stairs as dh tested positive on Boxing morning. It’s only been a few days but it feels an age.

The lesson learned Is I was never cut out to be a nurse. Trouble is I am in a lot of pain too as still waiting fir a new hip. Feeling a bit sorry fir myself. Must pull my socks up, if only I could reach them.

Oops Maw that’s another theory out of the window!

Coffee hasn't worked - at all. If only the sun would come out. Gloomy drizzle doesn't encourage any activity.
