I'm worried, my son came over last night to stay. Was exhausted from long work hours (not unusual). Fell asleep on couch and when I woke him to go to bed (he's staying over) couch and clothes wet from sweat...fever...
He has received an alert for a venue last Friday so will have a Covid test today. I also feel nauseas probably just anxiety but I'm scared. Day one of holidays and looking down the barrell of potentially being sick all locked up in quarantine at home for the next two weeks.

Gee @Anastasia I really hope not. Very much understand your concerns.
All you can do though, is to get tested and follow health guidelines. 😔 And then hope for the best. 💖

Oh gosh, @Anastasia !! 😮
Crossing my fingers and sending wishes that it's not Covid! Also that he doesn't have to wait for 4 hours to get tested. People are lining up at 4am here at testing centres, and some testing centres are even full and closing before they've opened!
Sending wishes for your anxiety also... 💚 🤞

Hello and hugs @HenryX
He's fine. It was my anxiety talking. It was a hot night and I over reacted which caused my own nausea. I hope today you are spending time with people special to you. Merry Christmas Henry x

Sending you all a bucket full of love and hugs today🙏💖
Its just me and my boyfriend today.
My boys headed off at 5am to their Dads a few hours away for a few days.
My first Christmas without my parents and it's Mum's birthday today too. Memories on Facebook of the past Christmas's with them.
On a brighter note my boys, bf and I had a really lovely day and dinner yesterday, it was very special and I will treasure it forever.
I'm not sad just melancholy I guess at how quickly life can change.
I am so grateful for you all here. I can't tag you all but I will tag you if I can and my phone lets me. I hope that wherever you are and whatever you do today you know I have you in my heart. Thank you for being you x
