Life in a Lockdown #12
It’s Tuesday again woo!
I took most of last week off as I felt really poorly, I’m hoping I’m on the mend now but still going to go for an easy week, to be honest, as no point in making myself feel unwell again.
I hope you are all doing OK – it seems weird to still be doing these posts, but I think until we know how everything is going to go long term it is interesting to keep a record of our thoughts and feelings around this time in our lives.
After all, *touch wood* we will never go through anything like it again.
As always, I have to kick it off by saying thank you to the lovely Bex at Futures for coming on this journey of lockdown remembrance each week and of course Jenni at Lyrical Host (affiliate link) for kickstarting the idea!
If you would like to take part I promise it is simple:
We do ask that you give both Bex and I a link back in your post, with how you find the link-up! You will be able to copy all the questions from below to answer in your own world.
Then all you need to do is pop back to mine or Bex’s post and pop your link in the inlinkz so we can come and read your post.
1) How are you feeling/coping?
2) What are you doing to keep yourself occupied?
3) How are you dealing with everything at the moment – are you self-isolated, going out for essentials etc? Has this changed?
4) What advice do you have for others?
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.
6) How has your routine been this week?
7) Have you planned anything for once lockdown is over in the past 7 days?
8) Anything else?
So what did week 12 hold:
1) How are you feeling/coping?
As I said before I felt pretty poorly last week. I was quite dizzy and had a weird feeling in my chest (which wasn’t anxiety for once).
Luckily I think my antibiotics have started to kick in and everything is feeling a bit easier.
I’m guessing I just had one yucky infection that caused my lymph nodes to swell in my armpit and just feel downright gross.
2) What are you doing to keep yourself occupied?
Last week we just watch Ink Master which has come onto Amazon Prime Video (affiliate link) and the new series of The Order on Netflix.
Other than that I’ve just been curled up feeling sorry for myself (yes I admit it).
3) How are you dealing with everything at the moment – are you self-isolated, going out for essentials etc? Has this changed?
We actually went out more than normal last week.
I was lucky enough to deal with the doctors over the phone. However, Ash needed the dentist so we had to go to the dentist and chemist for him.
We had masks ready of course!
My parents came around on Saturday and we had socially distanced afternoon tea, dropped off by the local cafe in the garden.
Which was lovely!
4) What advice do you have for others?
Take each day as it comes, listen to what you think is right, rather than what others (or the government) are telling you.
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.
I’m going to skip this one again – yes I know 2 weeks in a row.
I didn’t have anything arrive last week, but also I haven’t felt well enough to take photos, so catch up soon?!
6) How has your routine been this week?
A lot of sleeping, I’ve felt very tired, I’ve tried on the days I’ve felt better to get a few things done.
We’ve had a few people come around about different issues in the bungalow, including sorting out the layout for the new bathroom! So that always throws things off a bit.
7) Have you planned anything for once lockdown is over this week?
No, we did talk about a holiday we have booked, but we have decided to wait and see on it.
8) Anything else.
You’ve got this!

It is very sad that people are losing their lives and people aren’t find them for a while. It is just so scary to think people are alone in that way.
It is much nicer now it has cooled down a bit isn’t it – we’ve had rain today here and I would much rather it than the stifled weather of last week.
s glad that you are feeling better , this is a real tough time right now
Thank you so much, it really is, isn’t it?
We’re still in lockdown here. Businesses are starting to operate but the number of positive is still rising. I go out once a week to buy essentials.
Oh no that’s not good 🙁 it is scary how that is happening in so many places.
Having a wonderful time at home with my husband and kids. I’m glad that you are feeling better now than before.
Aww, I am so glad you have been able to enjoy this time at home.
Glad you’re feeling better now I need a check up for my eyes but I can’t still get an appointment
Oh no I hope you can get an appointment at some time soon!
Restaurants and bars have opened back up in LA with outdoor seating, but since the cases are sky-high right now I don’t feel safe going out!
Oh wow it’s scary that places are reopening when cases are so high.
Taking care of your health and getting the rest you need is important. So glad you are feeling better. Take good care of yourself as this pandemic journey is not over.
Thank you so much that means a lot – I think we have a long time to go with the pandemic.
Take care, things are had. I am glad you are doing a bit better xx
Thank you – it is definitely nice to be feeling a bit better.
Finally, lockdown finished. Now I have adjusted my life to the new reality. I have my daily routine program. However, I spend my weekends doing activities. Specifically, my favorite weekend activities are swimming and hiking.
It’s going to be weird isn’t it – readjusting to the new normal we are given.
Glad you feeling better yes lockdown and current sitiutation makes everything so difficult.
It is hard isn’t it – hopefully, things will go back to normal one day.
No big changes here, I’m still only going out once a week if necessary for groceries for myself and my parents. School just finished here so we don’t have daily video chats, which my son is missing terribly already.
I bet it is strange not having those after so long! Bless him.
How did you find the telephone consultation with the GP? I work at a GP surgery and we get nothing but complaints, but I know I’d be quite happy myself not to have to wait in a waiting room for ages, only to get rushed in and rushed out again.
I found it OK, to be honest, I was glad not to go in. I’ve struggled with those from consultants as they’ve all been telling me something long term and I’ve struggled to take it in, but with the GP it was fine.
So glad you are feeling much better with the dose of antibiotics. Also seeing your parents must have made you recover quicker too. Hope you get the well deserved holiday soon enough.
It was so lovely to see them though I still want to just give them a big hug!
I’m glad you are feeling better! Things seem to be (very slowly) getting back to normal here.
Thank you – it is weird isn’t it, I can’t work out sometimes why 1 thing can open but another cannot.
Oh no I am so sorry about your short break! That is awful that you won’t get the break or any money back.
