04/04/20 - All a blur

All the days are blurring now because every day is the same! I suffer with social anxiety but also Generalised Anxiety Disorder which means that I am anxious about pretty much anything and everything! This considered, lockdown is absolute bliss for me! I used to wake up dreading every day and the stress of life. Now I wake up happy knowing I don't have to go anywhere or do anything. No school runs, no appointments, no meetings/assemblies or volunteering. I am missing the caravan though and the peaceful haven which that was for me, especially waking up to a sea view every day. I really miss that. The bonus is that I am with my children and we are all keeping safe.

R had a problem with his eye today, since last night so he had to brave going to Tesco which I reasoned was okay because, should he get stopped and questioned about his journey, he is clearly out on medical grounds as his eye is undeniably swollen and bloodshot. He couldn't go to the Opticians in Tesco as they were closed so he had a consultation in the Pharmacy and was given antibiotic drops and Eye Wash. It is helpful that Pharmacists are able to assist in these matters because since the week before lockdown GP surgeries have closed and only been doing telephone consultations. My GP rang me during my last week at the caravan and agreed to make the referral to Gynaecology for a follow-up after my scan on 16/03/20. E has had her Orthodontist appointment cancelled for the second time which means she is unlikely to get her Brace fitted before she turns 14 next year. I am really upset for her, I'm sure she would have felt happier about having it sooner rather than later because sometimes it can take up to 3 years before it can be removed. Poor thing; she could be 17 and still wearing it!
