I hope things pick up for you Rotherham.The first one was good (even the home teaching bit) as I saved money with no petrol and car parking costs. My 2 hourly commute disappeared so my work life balance was great. I got really fit. No-one I know was affected by Covid. Loving life really.
Since Christmas its been horrendous. I feel so low. One of my children has had to isolate from his class bubble 3 times due to positive cases in his class. The other one has done it twice. Their motivation to want to sit on Zoom lessons is non existent. The Wife is in her final year at uni and is on placement at hospital a lot, and lots of assignments, so a lot of the childcare and running of the house is falling on me. And then my employer has just gone back to thinking its all business as usual, so pressure on the front is here that wasn't there before in the 1st lockdown. And finally (sorry if this is self indulgent moaning but I need to get it off my chest) but I sit here everyday and I'm convincing myself my house is falling down. I've got cracks in all rooms that have suddenly appeared (only small thin ones, nothing you could get your hand in), I think I've got a damp problem. My house makes clanging thumping sounds randomly (its.not the pipes) which has convinced me that I have major structural problems and if I have, I have little money to correct anything. I don't know who is the appropriate person to call and theyll think i have no problems and think I'm.crazy. So I just sit in this room literally feeling like the house is falling down around me. I can't stop looking for new faults and errors. It's driving me crazy.
So in summary....2021 hasn't been the big improvement i was hoping for so far!
There's nowt wrong with having a moan, in fact it's good to get it out of your system.
