December 1 – Life in a Lockdown #35

So we are still in lockdown 2 (just). Last Thursday the tiers we would go into come the 2nd were shared. We are going into tier 3 – which is very high alert. It means non-essential shops can reopen (I’m guessing the government want people shopping before Christmas). Restaurants and pubs are still closed unless they can offer takeaway services. Gyms can open but exercise classes are a no, inside attractions and entertainment have to close (however outdoor attractions can stay open). Do I really know what I am explaining – of course not. 

There’s talk that vaccines might start rolling out this month, that will be interesting to see. I’m still at this point where I’m worried about what it could do taking it (I pretty much react to everything). However, it would also allow me to go out again, so hello rock and a hard place. 

On With The Linky!

Starting off I must say a huge thank you to Bex from Futures for joining me each week as my co-host and of course Jenni at Lyrical Host (affiliate link) for kickstarting the idea! 

If you would like to take part, it’s simple:

We ask that you give both Bex and I a link back in your post, as hosts of the linkup and you can copy the questions below. 

After that; all you need to do is pop back to mine or Bex’s post and add your link in the inlinkz.

1) How are you feeling/coping?
2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days?
3) What do you think the coming weeks and months might hold for you (or the world)?
4) If you could remind yourself something about this time in years to come what would it be?
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from as mall business.
6) What is a unique (or not) technique you have used to get you through this time?
7) What is something your readers might not know about you?
8) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?

So what did week 35 hold:

1) How are you feeling/coping?

My fatigue is still awful, most of the time I just want to sleep and do nothing else. I guess I’ve had enough of this year and winter.

I’m trying to think what I need to do before Christmas and it’s not much to be honest, which is good. We aren’t giving so many presents this year as a family, so I’m hoping to donate to charity instead. Just trying to sort out which in my head is a little confusing.

2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days?

Nothing much to be honest. I’m still on the Bipolar education course, the last one is next week so been doing that every Monday.

Other than that it’s blogging, sleeping and eating.

Oh, I did talk to my physio over the phone, so I have some new exercising to try out to help my neck and hip.

3) What do you think the coming weeks and months might hold for you (or the world)?

I’m tentatively hoping that change is on the cards with the vaccine now in production and being shipped.

However only time will tell.

4) If you could remind yourself something about this time in years to come what would it be?

Just how people came together, even strangers and supported each other. Soup and cake left on the doorstep, things being delivered. It was all incredible.

5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.

Check out my hat! Isn’t it awesome?

It’s from a Kickstarter from Gilles Bone. However, you can buy them from the website where there is a whole range of Best Fuwa Fuwa Hats. 

Also from another Kickstarter are some pins, also from Gilles Bone, these are from the Nya Nya Neko range, from which I already own a few. These two are based on Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens. 

6) What is a unique (or not) technique you have used to get you through this time?

I’ve had to learn mindfulness through my different mental health courses. I think perhaps more than finding a technique that works for me. I’ve learnt that I need to keep looking for those which suit me and carry on practising them.

7) What is something your readers might not know about you?

Due to all my health issues, I never thought I would be able to work again. Blogging has given me a way to earn money and allowed me to come off ESA.

I worry about the day it becomes obsolete and what I will do then.

8) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?

Technology – allowing us a simple way to keep in touch with loved ones.
