A Worrier?
Its taken a while but I have found the right place to blog. I have no idea why my usual method of blogging has gone but as nothing anywhere is normal right now I shouldnt be surprised...I woke up worrying. I have never been a worrier.... but this pandemic is responsible for my doing all sorts of weird things. The strangest is booking myself into the hotel for Christmas. ....even though its months away I find myself already worrying about how I will get there. I have not driven my car much at all since all this started.....but its time to get behind the wheel again...I think. Ive become a different person through all this.....one who considers my every move instead of just getting on with it. So is it time to start doing normal things again...like driving into the village to the local shops.....but somehow I am reluctant to do it.There are fewer people here now I am told. So whats stopping me? I really dont know..except nothing feels right now. Plus I am not sure of anything at all just now.....but getting my blog out every day does help. On odd days when its late for some reason I am touched by peoples enquiries and tell them with some satisfaction that I am fine...mostly. But still I find myself worrying....Not all the time but often . I should just get on with it....what ever it is. So up I get shortly....and then another decision is needed....to wash my hair whilst I am in the shower? Oh dear!

A good job with a good blog post. Worrying is natural when we are unsettled by such uncertain times that we are living in. I have to admit Jen going back to work is giving me some pleasure, albeit I am acting as her driver to go and to come home. She is waiting for DVLA and a Driving Assessment to be completed, as she dearly wants to retain her driving licence after her stroke. And from what I am seeing and hearing with and from her it is a marvelous recovery, a lot of it down to her determination to be as near normal as she can. Much has changed, but just two days back at work has stretched her speech immeasurably and I've told her so. She had a bit of a lisp, but that has disappeared. The therapists tested her with words she'd never use in her normal life, they were words in a book or newspaper. She is a working girl from Charlton, not the West End or Kensington, as I am a working boy from Stepney. We don't talk like graduates of Eton or University.
So, I am glad you have now booked your Christmas and are going to get out and about, I have been out three times this morning. To the Corner shop, to drop Jen off and to the Supermarket for some top up of fresh fruit. Its going out and interacting, keeping a mask on, keeping a good social distance and hygiene with hand washing that keeps (at least us) safe I hope.
Please keep blogging if you can, it is worthwhile coming here every day.
