Re: Not sure what to do !!!

As much as ever @Shaz51. We're fairly lockdown-proof here. It's actually kind of nice having a good reason to stay at home, but I know it's a lot harder for some than others.

@Shaz51 - forced relaxation! these lockdowns. Hopefully only a short one 🤞 Maybe God thinks you need a break lol. Did you get much sleep last night? Glad to hear you're resting this arvo. I'm pretty sure medical apts are ok - maybe ring the surgery, Wear ya masks though, stay safe. 💐🕊️

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

I'm ok thanks @Shaz51 Usual boring aches and pains. Had a shower and washed my hair - treating it under a cap atm - only way to stop the frizz. I have a friend dropping in for dinner soon so just prepping for that, poor dear starts chemo this week. Keeps me going helping people - I'm half way travel between her & her kidults. Have to put my listening ears on though 😶 talk less lol.

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

So the great Lock-Down has hit you too @Shaz51

Darn - and I am guessing you have little enough work right now so three days off it going to get you coming and going - you really can use the time off to sort ourd your health a bit but not at the loss of three days income. Are you entitled to any of this cash-support the Government says there is or as self-employed people is this not at all going to happen

I was glad my gardener and his wife could get here a the week before last - not just for my garden which looks terrific btw - but because this couple sort of remind me of you and Mr Shaz - battling away working very hard for little monetary return

And you have so much to be concerned about - Mr Shaz and his anxiety, your mother and her dementia - I am not sure right now if this has been diagnosed or not - but you would know. And she had this problem with her medication - not at all easy - I get it - and your house needing to be rebuild. On and on and on

It's not easy Shaz - I did read some of your posts yesterday - I had an adventure yesterday to write about in my thread - I must do that. I know you are not feeling at all well yourself - I hope you can care for yourself while you are so busy caring for other people

All the best - and again this is your second Mum caring about you and I really do

Guess what

We have to go in lockdown from 4pm today , wow

No work for us for 3 days lockdown


Lockdown is hard to digest when you hear that it is happening to yourself just like the snap of fingers (not quite the correct expression. I think that you might get my drift though....brain still not happy).

Many people do not realise that those of us dealing with unwell minds and caring for others with their own unwell minds are suddenly hit with the trauma of life restrictions.

I get exactly what you are feeling @Shaz51 as I am a person who is very prone to self isolating and was doing so before our lockdown. Yet when heard the news it was still traumatic even thought I was self isolating already from the world.

Double whammy.

First lockdown did not affect me as we had moved into new build and had much to do.

Toilet paper was the main concern!!!!

You might be eligible for a one off payment; as in relief or disaster (not you being the disaster; lockdown being the disaster; delta variant of covid).

Hope you get some help and useful advice, support if you do go to the doctors.

Medical appointments are considered as essential and still go ahead.

Each practice dealing with it in their own way.

Sending you love and hugs for you, Mr Shaz and Mum Shaz

Thank you for your support on the other side (the far side) for me also @Shaz51 With everything that is going on you still reach out and support so many.

Again I want to tell you how much of a beautiful person you are.

You have made a huge difference for so many on here; by being you.

💜
