Day 10

 Not much happening here. I didn't get out of my pjs today. And it took every bit of willpower to wash the dishes.

However I was in contact with both family and some friends which passed the day well, and also Daughter who had her studio going, she's gone mad into art which is wonderful.

Our Zoom Fam Jam went well. Because of Covid much exploration has been done into ancestors by a few members so that always has us enthralled as we tie in Irish history dates with the family events happening in those times. 

I knitted away part of the day on a new project. And enjoyed my new mug which has both my spirit animal along with knitting on it. I use it just for tea. Change has seen me embrace tea to keep the munchies monkey off my back.


There was a heavy fog clinging to the hills and lake outside this morning. My crocuses winced.


I wish I could say that mentally I'm doing well but I'm not. A kind of lethargy spiced with a sense of will-this-shyte ever end. I'm talking the pandemic of course. this combined with winter here and the realization I'll soon be celebrating the first annual anniversary of my self-imposed lockdown.

    And keep knitting. And reaching out. I think many of us know that lethargy. That dangerous lethargy.

  2. Letargy. Yes. I know it too. Why should I do this or that .. it's no ues anyway. I'm lukcy to have a family, else I would never ever get out of bed. Foggy, wet days are the worst. I hope for sunhine in the coming days for all of us - and an end to you-know-what!
    Keep on keeping on must be our motto for some times yet. Hugs and good thoughts from over the oceans.

    1. Yes, Charlotte, it feels like I'm walking through a deep marsh from time to time. Stuck. I do talk encouraging thoughts to myself.

  3. The shite will end and I guess this year. But experts think there will be more shite in the future, hopefully not in our lifetime and the world will be better prepared with the knowledge from this shite.

    1. Positiive thoughts Andrew, we need to be pandemic prepared. And we were warned for years this would happen. Many of my family members have had or have it. And long term effects are quite brutal from the latest readings I've seen.

  4. Pajamas? Don't even own a pair, prefer long roomy flannel nightgowns.

    1. Hi Sue, can't stand nighties, they always wound up around my neck. To each his own though. I love my jammies.

  5. This too shall pass. Health, weather and Covid issues have caused such feelings in many and I am no exception. I came out of it thanks to timely consultation with my shrink.

    1. Excellent Ramana. I haven't had a therapist here apart from my grief counsellor who was wonderful in my six month treatment of hopeless despair and unrelenting grief.

      I'm aware of these waves in my emotions and just put them down to "ordinary" in the face of everyone else experiencing similar.

  9. Hard to believe this "shite" has been on us a year now. Though, I did not become a semi recluse until March and a total recluse until September. I wish you were not so depressed by lethargy. Dragged down by it. Smile like the crocus still are (I hope).

    1. The crocuses have keeled over but their green leaves reach higher for the sky. They cheer me. I must put them to sleep soon for a while and hope they revive in the fall :)
