Lockdown alone has at times been absolutely dark and soul destroying , there’s no worse place than loneliness. However, it’s given me more time to think about the simple things we take for granted, and I hope by learning lots about myself I’ll never take them for granted again.
I’ve tried to fill my time - decorated the bathroom, spring cleaned the whole house, washed curtains, sorted out cupboards and paperwork, done the garden , painted garden furniture, binge watched TV series etc.
I do my eldest sons shopping and take it round to him as he is vulnerable , so it gives us a bit of face to face contact (at a distance) he stands one end of the car and I stand at the other and we have a chat.
I’ve chatted to some nice people in the queue for the supermarket and I’ve heard selfish people moan and complain about the queues.
I have a lovely chat with my neighbours a couple of times a day over the fence and we organise a little show for all the other neighbours on the Thursday night clap , so we’ve made dressing up costumes too which has been great fun.
I really feel for the people that haven’t got many outside contacts , the elderly, the homeless and the victims of domestic violence through this and that’s what makes me put my own lonely place in to perspective. When all this has finished (or is slightly better) I definitely want to do some volunteering to help one of these categories of people.
I downloaded zoom in the hope I might get invited to one of these quiz things .....but I didn’t lol, so deleted the app in the week.
What didn’t help was my youngest completed on his new place and moved in February 20th , I’m happy he’s got a new place with his girlfriend , but I’ve missed him so much.
I miss hugging my boys immensely.
How has anyone else alone coped?
