Here is a poem I wrote on the 21/04/2020
looking for my "me time".....
Why am I waking at 5 am?
It’s happening all of the time
Too much to do or too much to think?
Or am I now losing my mind
I’m us-ually home all alone
Is it cause they’r e always around?
Who’s going to cook and mop the floor
It's becoming a bit of a grind
It’s time for bed now, put that tablet down
Is what I constantly say!
and after days of repeating this
I'm struggling not to frown
My once lovely hubby's now a grumpy git
I don't care for the tone of his sound.
I need some time to write my thoughts
like a clock that needs to unwound
It's 8 o'clock , they’ll soon be up
I’d better go see to it then
Then it’s home schooling kid, dinner then bed
which suits me right down to the ground
Corona Corona will you please go away as this is becoming a bore
Or can they please hurry up with the finding a cure
and put an end to the lockdown.

So glad we made it through this and it was agonizing even for us essential servers who couldn't quarantine.
We are meant to be social, connect, and physically touch each other so having that taken away is devastating. But what's even more devastating is taking other people for granted. Shouldn't take a pandemic to see this...
