My get-up-and-go has gone ?

I’ve always felt that we’re animals that were meant to hibernate.

I’m pleased to see that so many other animals are allowed on beds and sofas ?

NOT allowed, Juliet27, but it just happens!

LtEve any chance of a change of job? Yours sounds like a most unpleasant one.
Meanwhile, my cats slumber peacefully on. Note precision training on sleep location. (I told them they weren't allowed to sleep there!)

However, time for a New Year’s resolution ??

Oh dear! I actually fell asleep while reading this thread! Come on, own up, which one of you popped by and nicked my get up and go? I really wish I could just relax and let things slide until the Spring, but we need to move house this year and there are jobs to be done before we can market the place, so whoever stole it, please return a.s.a.p! Just off for a snooze while I'm waiting.

So sorry that so many of you feel like this - it is the opposite for me. With multiple chronic illnesses, and some incurable illnesses, good diet, plenty exercise, keeping really busy and counting my blessings all work for me. Hope everyone feels great again soon!

Haha Maw…perfect!!

silverlining... you've got a brilliant sense of humour...thanks

Just bragging but I'm up, showered and dressed. Just recovering now. I've got a great book on the go and the fire is roaring.

I got up at 7am. I had to get my wee lazy dog up out of her bed at 9.15 to go for her walk. I think her mojo has lost its way too with these dreary days.

Can I join the search party please? ?

I think it is CV19 fatigue

So glad to read this at 11.16 , still in bed reading good book and had stopped to look at gransnet. Have been thinking I am the laziest person ever?. Heartened to read these lovely comments and realise I am not alone ?? Happy, peaceful new year everyone xx

Sleepy headed cat has lost her mojo too. How clever of her to go back to bed as she knows I won’t disturb her with bed making. How thoughtful is that? I will now have to watch a couple more episodes of Call the Midwife until she allows me to take on the arduous task of making our bed! That’s enough housework nonsense I can ignore for a while as I wait for my mojo to return, if it ever does!

It doesn’t help matters that I am not feeling the least bit guilty so I mark that down as a positive. ?

Same here, I have a list of jobs to do but keep putting them off. I've told myself I will get a grip after the New Year weekend and really get stuck in.
Watch this space.

Oh, Lord, don’t remind me.
House is starting to look a bit like a bomb site - even though thanks to COVID the grandchildren haven’t even visited - and then there’s the dreaded tax return…?

I just wish I could change my teaching of a lifetime.. keep on, telling me,, please... it is o.k. to relax, stop, do nothing other than read or... whatever.... it is o.k. to lie in bed past 7 a.m

wish there was a jab available for this..

having said that my gitalong no longer exists,, such a struggle, for months now!

so Maw Maw,, Join the club is what I say...

Yes, my get up and go has got up and went! I used to think that was funny, but not now I am there!! Think the pandemic has had a lot to do with it.

I know just what you mean. I've put on weight over the past couple of years, had stress relating to house moves and DC's house moves, have sciatica, vertigo, just had a horrible cold and all of this has made me feel sluggish and "not myself". To top it all I now have my 70th birthay this month.
I've been ruminating on whether "three scrore years and ten" really is the beginning of the downward path!

But at least my tax return is done!

Same here but I can only blame laziness and my iPad. I spend hours looking at rubbish articles when I should be organising my junk.
New Year’s resolutions needed here.
Happy New Year everyone.

I have a postcard on my desk of a tabby cat sound asleep. The caption reads: Cats don't worry about time, they have enough of it.

Perhaps we should learn from them.

I think I just need a proper holiday. We had a few booked over the last couple of years which we’ve missed. Fingers crossed for this year. Meanwhile my sanity is maintained by my two loonies. They never lose their get up and go although not averse to a little sofa snuggling as well.

Oh I’m with you all on here. DH tested positive on his bd, then me and our sons. MIL in hospital, husband ended up in hospital for 3 days. DS wife dumped him and is cheating on him. Job crap so really not looking forward to going back. Whole Xmas break spent feeling ill and depressed.

But mojo going to come back as all feeling better now, mil coming home today, son already managed to sell their house and looking for one of his own. Other son successfully completed RAF training. I’ve applied for new job had one successful interview got second one new year!

So I can start ‘looking on bright side of life’ now.

Happy new year to all, let’s hope for the great return of our mojo’s!

Mine has gone into hiding too..feel like this next year is going to be a case of "Same old, same old" as it has been for the past 2 years.
I can feel my depression is starting to get worse every day and am clinging on by my fingernails

Ah yes…washing…a reason to get going ?

Me too. You’ve reminded me I have bedlinen to wash and put on the line while it’s actually sunny and breezy.
I had spent the morning idling with my watercolours painting fish pictures for my daughter, so I still have a little bit of oil left in my lamp ?

Peff68 great to hear that life has taken a turn for the better, much better. Very cheering to read.
