Yes, that is exactly where I am at....... but, my question is 'when will we get back to normal?' - and I know the answer to that is:-
We will never get back to normal - not as we remember it.
Slight lockdown easing last week or so, and here in the south west ( and other areas) the 'R' is already up to 1.
Look at all the demonstrations yesterday - yes, they have the right to do so BUT they were not in most cases, distancing.
And most of the demonstrators were of the ethnicity that is most badly affected by Covid19 - so this will all kick off again ..... nothing more certain.
I am just trying very hard in my head to accept that nothing is going to change - I have reached breaking point and gone beyond it. Something I never thought was possible.......
The Drs cannot help, social services cannot help, family cannot help - we can't self fund. I can't move out because since we moved here 5 years ago, local rents have gone way beyond me.
I am strong, I am very strong, but one gets fed up of being strong.... but I have to accept, and so many others like me, that this is IT now. I am 71, this is it, nothing will change until one of us dies.
But as a genealogist, I have dipped into the past so many times that I realise my life is very easy compared with those in the past. In the 21st century we have expectations, and we think we have rights - Covid has put paid to a lot of that..........
