October 12th – Life After a Lockdown #80
Many people have started to have their boosters for the COVID vaccine. While we have a bit of an energy crisis going on with suppliers shutting down and energy prices soaring.
Locally anti-COVID vaccine people were protesting outside schools, which caused distress to pupils.
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? Are you living life as normal, being cautious or still being very careful?
3. What’s a helpful tip you would like the future to know about living in / or after a pandemic?
4. What tips do you have for others when out and about?
5. What is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?
6. What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?
7. What has made you smile this week?
8. Anything else you would like to mention?
So what did week 80 hold:
1) How are you feeling/coping?
I feel stuck in a time loop of fatigue and pain, to be honest. I really am struggling to manage to do anything day to day. Even with giving myself time to recuperate, I just don’t seem to be able to cope with anything be it mental or physical without backsliding. I need to bring it up with doctors, but I’m sure as always I’ll be told it’s just part of your health issue.
The above and my eyes starting to struggle with the change in weather is, of course, having a knock-on effect on my mental health as well.
2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days? Are you living life as normal, being cautious or still being very careful?
Pretty much nothing, I had 3 appointments over the first two days of last week and that was it for me. The good news from them was that there doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about with the lump in my neck. Just a reactive (though who knows what to) lymph node.
I’ve noticed when not at the hospital if out and about fewer people are wearing masks and there definitely seems to have been more of a shift towards “normality”.
4) What tips do you have for others when out and about?
Still give people room, it doesn’t matter if you are acting like normal. Remember others might not be, so allow people extra space.
5) What is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?
Got to be this post on mobility friendly places to head to across the UK!
6) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?
My Dad for helping get me to hospital appointments. I’m struggling enough as it is just attending them, it is a huge help having someone helping me get there and back.
7) What has made you smile this week?
I got some new clothes which definitely made me smile I did share one t-shirt over on my personal Instagram. I mean who doesn’t love Casper?
8) Anything else you would like to mention?

I like the fact we are getting closer to normality, and people can go get their boosters sooner rather than later. But yeah it helps to wear facemasks when in very crowded spaces too.
It will be interesting to see how the winter goes, I’m hoping things stay good for us all.
Oh my that shirt is amazing! I love it! xo
Haha it is fab isn’t it – she releases different patches each month and then you choose the t-shirt colour (you can also have it put on a jumper or long sleeve t-shirt)
Your right about less people wearing masks, even on the trains where I thought it was still mandatory, I still see quite a few people without them x
It is crazy how it seems to have suddenly dropped off. It felt like everyone was for a while, now hardly anyone.
I have been and am very grateful to my children’s school struggling to keep normality in this situation but have done a fantastic job for all the pupils
That is good that they are managing to keep it somewhat normal for the kids.
Okay I NEED THAT SHIRT. Yay to your Dad for being so kind and getting you to your appointments x
It is fab, isn’t it? I may have bought a Goosebumps one this month whoops!
I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling so good. I agree, there’s a definite shift towards normality at the moment which feels odd. Where we live there is a huge outbreak of cases so I’m feeling much more anxious and wary of being around groups. I guess this is something we’re all going to have to get used to but it is hard.
Oh no I am so sorry you are in an area like that – I hope it doesn’t get to bad for you, I have to admit I do worry what winter will hold for us all.
My parents have been called for their boosters now, I did think things may be changing but just heard that the fireworks in London on New Years Eve have now cancelled, which to me screams we will be in lockdown. Our energy supplier is one that closed down so we are in the process of being transferred I have never given so many meter readings in my life in such a short time. C is struggling at the moment plus had a hospital appointment cancelled, we are letting her rest up as have college (hopefully starting soon) and her 18th to contend with.
I hope their boosters go OK for them! Oh I hadn’t heard that, that’s a bit like hmm what will be going on isn’t it? I do think the winter could be bad all around. Oh no I am so sorry you got affected by the energy suppliers shutting down – I’m awful at checking suppliers so we are still on British Gas which this is probably the only time is a good thing. I’m so sorry C is struggling again 🙁
