Ha ha no Ninathenana I'm not negative, but if I made you chuckle that's great ?

I just keep telling myself “to hold the line” which became my mantra when dh had open heart surgery a few years ago. It’s not always easy but what else can we do?

I am actually finding Lockdown much easier this time around. Think that is because it is in the winter, and I had no plans that have been scuppered.

Last March, I had so many arrangements in place for the following few months. Being visited in my new home, and visiting people elsewhere. And, I found it very difficult for the first few weeks to come to terms with that. It was as if I was in mourning for the life I should have been leading.

However, this time, I had no such plans, and normally hunker down for the winter months, just looking forward to getting to end of March (I do this each year - do have SAD). So, nothing is really changing for me.

Still have a small (almost ever-diminishing) hope that come April/May I will be able to start seeing my children and friend again in person.

I'm in same position,its hard,maybe harder than first time. All we can do is stay as positive as can and we do have some lovely supportive threads on Gransnet?

Sorry, I had to chuckle at your last line. Should that be "keep safe and negative" ??
Look after yourself

After last night's announcement at first I felt depressed, and then I realised it actually won't change much for me currently as I don't mix with anyone but my bubble or go shopping etc, and that is how I plan to keep it until I have been vaccinated. I'm even struggling to get out for my much loved walks atm due to thick ice, so like most I am trying to keep myself busy and entertained. Living alone is difficult during these times with very little contact or social interaction, but I still count mt blessings every day - oh and hope I won't be completely mad upon release lol.
My parents had it much harder with very little in the way of luxuries or indeed basic necessities. I look forward to brighter times and the Spring.
Keep safe and positive everyone smile
