Getting used to it.
I wish I could go on pretending to myself that all is well.....but it isnt. My phone line is still down so I am feeling a little cut off and thank full for my mobile phone which is coping well with everything thats happening. BT say they will fix the problem today but they said that yesterday. Mentally I am still more or less cheerful. I have a Tesco booked for the weekend so I am not worrying about food....yet. My car started yesterday and I ran it for a little while because I need to know I can get down to the village if I need to. I keep hearing about the provisions made for the vulnerable and at 83 I am definately in that group but as yet I have seem no evidence of it. To be fair I do live a long way out. But this morning there is traffic on the road after a quiet few days. I have looked in my freezer to be sure I can eat and yesterday placed an order for some alcohol which will arrive this week. If I end up as a drunk so be it! So no....everything is far from normal but I am coping...just. I slept well anyway..and am up late drinking my first coffee of the day. This state of affairs could go on for quite a while. The sooner we all get used to it the better...

Jean I am not sure who you are trying to convince that you are not lonely, you or the people who read this. Your recent blogs are well peppered with words like Alone, Not lonely, Not a Problem, Pretending to Myself and Alcohol.
At least everyone knows who I am...no need to hide behind anonymity. I suppose it’s normal to feel a little alone when you’ve just had your first ever Christmas on your own.....did it make you feel superior sending me that comment?
Good afternoon Jean, there’s no doubt about it, things are not normal. We are all struggling to one degree or another.
Good to hear you have aTesco delivery booked, and fingers crossed that your phone is fixed today.
Hopefully it won’t be too long before you get an invitation to have the first dose of the Covid-19 Vaccine. They are starting to roll them out to further regions now.
Keep safe
