We are in week 88 of Life After Lockdown. From the beginning of lockdown I have been taking part in a linky where we answer questions of how the past week has been. Originally in lockdown, and now after lockdown.
With new variants, we are finding secure measures coming back into force.
How has your week been? Read on to see how my week has been.
For those wanting to take part the questions are
Table of Contents
1) How are you feeling/coping?
I am feeling nervous of this week, C has an appointment for her GON injections for her migraines today. She should have had this in October but her appointment was cancelled, and we are still waiting on a replacement Consultant joining the team. As her migraines are bad again and she is really struggling, my parents have stepped in to pay.
I am also not looking forward to Thursday as I have my biopsies and know it will be extremely painful and will be in a lot of discomfort after, just because of where they are. Again, going private as my hospital appointment is middle of March and I am struggling with the pain I am in.
2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days? Are you living life as normal, being cautious or still being very careful?
We had a weekend away with friends to celebrate a birthday, what I did notice was that the hotel was saying wear masks unless seated. But half the residents and staff did not wear one. How is this ever going to end if people can not even wear a mask for a few minutes
3) What’s a helpful tip you would like the future to know about living in / or after a pandemic?
We are all in this together, as my parents used to say treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. So be respectful of distance and rules
4) What tips do you have for others when out and about?
Again be respectful of others wear your mask and use hand sanitiser
5) What is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?
I have been on another planet most of the time, I promise I will share at some stage
6) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?
My friends and family
7) What has made you smile this week?
My dogs, they have been of fine form of just being so funny
8) Anything else you would like to mention?
Not at the moment
Thank you to
The mask thing really frustrates me. It’s not that hard and helps to keep everyone safe. I wear mine most places, even outdoors if I’m somewhere busy.
I am still being VERY cautious. Even before the latest recommendations regarding mask wearing, I’ve been wearing mine whenever I went indoors anywhere. Now I’ve reverted to wearing my mask when I’m out in the street too. I’ve noticed lots more people wearing their masks in the streets too.
I think we need to be cautious, the number of cases are rising, I would not be surprised if we go into full lockdwon any day now
Dogs are simply so pure aren’t they? I never understand people who don’t think of the ‘treat others as you would like to be treated yourself’ rule of thumb!
Honestly my two boys are amazing, they drive me up the wall at times but wouldn’t be without them. The rudeness of some people I never understand
‘We are all in this together’. This is very true!
I hope everything goes well hun. These new rules , I just don’t know what to think anymore ,it is really bothering me now
I am just doing my own thing, popping out when I have too wearing mask and using hand sanitiser everywhere and keeping to myself to stay safe
I’m so sorry to hear that you are in pain and need biopsies too. I hope that they can do it quickly to not cause too much discomfort.
Had them done yesterday omg I nearly passed out but didn’t can hardly sit down now but hopefully worth all the pain and discomfort
My parents favourite saying too ” my parents used to say treat others as you would like to be treated yourself” and i always live by this and hope my children will too! Im getting really annoyed with the non mask wearers and generally just selfish people. We all want to get out of this!
I am hoping with the new rules yesterday people do start to wear masks now and not think the rules do not apply to them
Great idea indeed. We need initiatives like this 🙂
I hope C’s appointment for her injections went okay yesterday! I also hope your biopsies tomorrow go okay xx
Thank you her appointment went really well although very sore today but that is only expected due to where the injections were. I am not going to lie I am dreading tomorrow and know it will be really painful
My dog keeps me cheerful too, I don’t know what I’d do without our daily walks in the fresh air.
My dogs are totally different in character but certainly keep us entertained
This is such a great idea for a series – I hope you’re biopsies are as painless as possible!
I have loved this linky and it is fun to look back on, I have had them before and they are painful but having them private am hoping they do the procedure slightly differently and are less painful
A weekend away sounds great and something nice to start the festive season. I hope the procedures go well this week and help you both.
It was lovely to get away, C had her injections yesterday and went ok, just me on Thursday now which I am not looking forward to
