Tuesday.


Hi,

So today I got up thinking - so I have today off and then I'm working for 3 days.  I don't mind the job at all and the people are all really nice but I have had 3 years of not working and not being accountable to anybody else and I resent that a little bit.  I am not too happy about having to work - especially now I know that Andy's job is not secure.

I am not getting on with any work on the house - its almost like, now I am working I feel like I don't have the time to do any work on the house - but really I could be getting on things!  I need to change my mindset and just do a small job a day - or there will be no progress.

What I did do today was cut the grass in the garden - that is not a 2 minute job but I also knew I would earn calories from it! lol.

Just after I finished, the gardeners turned up - I was glad I had cut the grass because it meant that they could spend their time doing other things that need doing.  I had a quick chat with Chloe - I really like her and wish we were in a position to become closer friends - but I have tried before and....I don't know she just didn't seem too enthusiastic, I think maybe her husband is a little controlling but what do I know....

So - I then did the Oculus boxing for a while (more calories) and got a shower....

Since then I have been chilling - watching TV and playing Runescape (I know - I'm a saddo).

I haven't looked up much about the coronavirus lately so I'm going to have a look now at all the figures.  I do know that yesterday the deaths only increased by 55 - much lower than it has been, but still not zero which is what we need to see.  I also saw something earlier which said non-essential shops are to open on Monday.  I am not confident that this is the right thing to do.  Pubs and restaurants cannot re-open until 4th July.  It would be awesome to start getting back to normal but I don't believe it is safe to do so yet.

I keep thinking about my dad.  I still find it hard to believe that he is no longer with us, and it is just....so sad, so tragic and so unfair.  I try and take some comfort from the fact that he might have had a much worse time of it if he had died another way....but then I come back to the fact that we could have so much more time with him if it hadn't been for the virus.  

Anyway - lets see if I have all the figures for the last week....
