What a strange year we are living through. I have been so grateful for the good weather and the chance to be out of doors and once lockdown eased meet friends occasionally and resume my regular walks with a friend in a similar situation. We are both fortunate that we can leave our OHs for a few hours although I never know what I am going back to. Yesterday with warm sunshine and 23 degrees he was wearing an Aran sweater and all the windows were closed.
But as winter looms and the virus strengthens its grip I’m sure I’m not alone in dreading the winter. It seems we will be in virtual lockdown - don’t tend to go the pub anyway and have only eaten out very selectively. So it’s going to be stuck at home - being lectured on things that he randomly remembers, very slowly - three words at a time. Not having a conversation, sorting the recycling that’s always in the wrong places, looking for things he has lost, cooking endless boring meals as the list of things he doesn’t”like” grows. As someone else said - dealing with this enormous 4 year old without the potential of a 4 year old. And not even a cuddle to make things better.
Can I I hibernate and wake up when this is all over? ( do I mean the pandemic or the incarceration with some man who used to be my husband and best friend? You choose!]
