So today the UK hit 20,000 deaths. At the beginning of this our government said we'd be lucky to stay under 20,000 deaths - I might have mentioned it here - and I don't remember what I said about it then, but I remember thinking - wow! But this whole thing turned into much more of a nightmare than I ever thought it would. I remember thinking - oh god, if my Dad catches it, he won't survive. I don't know if I really thought that - if I really considered it a real possibility. How cruel it was to end for him this way for him - I still can't really believe it. Every time I see the figures, I can't help thinking how one of those was my Dad and it makes me feel a mixture of anger and sorrow as well as many other emotions and almost, like a confusion...how?? why?? NO!! It can't have happened really!
Today, I haven't really allowed myself to think about it, and I've remained in a fairly good mood. That seems weird to me - how can I be okay? But - I've just blocked it out for a while. I've been avoiding thinking about the funeral - because will be very real, too real and too horrible. Dreading it.
The deaths today seem high to me - especially as 'they' said that the weekend figures are lower because the people reporting are not at work. I just wish it would stop! Just go away!! The madness is unbearable...
I think maybe the misery is catching up with me after a positive day. Helen has been really down today - very emotional. She says she's tired, or hormonal - but I think it is all catching up on her after keeping really busy and driven to sort everything out for my mum. She has her kids at home so she probably feels guilty about that too and she is stressing about the Eulogy - but we are going to sit down together tomorrow and sort it out.
Today Andrew (my brother) and his wife Lorna and their 4 kids came around - they stood outside of the garden - with us inside - and we chatted for a good hour or so in the sunshine. That was nice to see them all...
My mum mentioned today the 3 pictures that she has on her phone - she took them the day my dad died - he was is a state with a huge mask on - and I told her that I don't want to see those pictures again, and she said why? because I don't want to remember him like that! Part of me does want to see them again - almost like I want to feel the anguish....I don't know.....its a confusing time. I don't want to ever think about him like that - why would I want to see a picture of it. My mum said - but its the last time I ever saw him! I think she will feel the same as I do about it soon. Who knows?
I'm rambling.
We didn't really do much for the rest of the day - had tea...watched TV....looked through some more old photo's....
Its a little bit like Groundhog day...each day so similar to the last....same thing on the news everyday, same routine, weekdays and weekends are exactly the same. We are like a very small all-female commune! The three of us together, doing chores and tasks, walking dogs, making meals, sitting in front of the TV in the evening and getting to bed early....its like I'm in a strange, unfamiliar - but getting to feel more familiar - bubble.
Anyway - changing the subject - I was informed that my blog is in the top 100 lifestyle blogs with a website called feedspot. https://blog.feedspot.com/uk_
I do not know much about this website and haven't had much of a chance to have a proper look at it - but I will eventually. If people are reading my blog I'd love to hear from you in the 'comments'.
I need to get to sleep - ready for my early morning wake-up call from my mums dogs!
Goodnight xx
