A no doubt ill-advised thread. Grab a brew...
I have spent today feeling like an utter mug.

I have spent today feeling like an utter mug.
1) My parents live 200 odd miles away from me and I’ve not seen them in person since Christmas
2) My brother and sister and their respective families also live 200 odd miles away. I’ve not seen them in person since February.
3) Some of my best friends live down the road, I’ve not seen them since lockdown.
4) I’m paying £200 odd a month for an office I’m not using because I’ve been told to stay at home.
The only business support I get is a loan. Yep I get debt, not a grant. And bugger me I’ve been grateful to get that!

5) I’m still staying at home as much as possible because my husband is a key worker and I don’t want to spread germs to him or spread the germs he might have.
6) I felt guilty for getting a coffee last week.
And today I’m hearing all about “accidental” mass meet ups in parks, (oh what a surprise seeing you here at the exact spot we arranged)
I’m seeing people heading to their offices when they could work at home. (I am not a good home worker, I need a space)
And of course the one rule for the rich and another for the rest of us continues to play out. As it has throughout lockdown.
I will continue to stay at home, I will stay alert. I will keep acting as though I have the virus and so does everybody I come in to contact with. It’s not about protecting me (although being self employed I can’t afford the time off), it’s about protecting others.
Still feel like an utter mug though.
