I don't want to get all full on journal here but its been an eventful weekend.
Work colleague sent home Thursday with symptoms is very poorly, her friend had been hospitalised Friday, died the same night, she was 70 so has 10 years on my colleague. Extremely sad to hear and my colleague lives alone, we are all keeping in touch with her but she's now feeling dreadful and grieving.
Two other colleagues have been poorly but manageable similar symptoms to eachother (sore throat dry cough and diarrhoea) , their husbands however are on about day 7 and feeling worse than ever, one of which works with a guy who is now in intensive care only 48.
Fourth colleauge is on day 2 of what we hope is recovery and now can talk without coughing and has the energy to get around the house. She's 62. (I work with a lot of older ladies)
A friend of ours is a male nurse at a local surgery, hes on day 7 too woke up feeling better, husband tells me he put on his Facebook he's feeling great then his wife updated it a few hrs back saying false alarm he's back downhill again.

Thankful I worked those last two weeks at home and not been in any contact with above colleagues.
Really seems to be hitting men pretty bad apart from that one older lady who sadly died, also this pattern of feeling better then getting worse again hearing that a lot.

Shits getting real now, definitely feeling more scared about it.

Stay safe guys.

Has anyone else adapted to the current level of shitness too? I think last week escalated to a new level of shit, and now I'm adapting to that too. Work will trigger me, it's always work and then I'll panic about it all like omg let me live on the moon and then I sleep and get over it.
Home is my complete haven at the moment, it's just perfect and I can forget what is going on in the world to a degree. If I was going to work and coming home to any empty house that would be tough...
Thinking of any ferners struggling.

load of fat drunks you know on the internet

You couldn't be further from the truth, I always imagine you all look like this...

Jamie Dornan that's good in the kitchen @Hooroo
Jamie Dornan that has eyebrow fetish and gif game @Bones
The funniest Jamie Dornan @mariner4life
Jamie Dornan that always give me an upvote @Virgil
Jamie Dornan who knows how to use an ironing board @MiketheSnow
Jamie Dornan who loves Bono too @Donsteppa
The "nice guy" Jamie Dornan @taniwharugby

And jeez there are a lot of Jamie Dornans that like Star Wars..

The reality is that more than half of you probably look like this...

But its still lovely to read your banter and very knowledgeable and insightful comments (really) during this time. You are an uplifting bunch.

People will finally realise they don't have to go to their GP with a cold or viral type symptoms and demand antibiotics like the cure all...

Right, I've survived my first week working from home fulltime whilst also looking after 4yo. One more week to go.
Not going to lie it was horrific. I haven't ferned this much since being a student but it's made it more bearable, thanks guys.
Chin chin! Angel is in bed, earned thismusic on, email notifications OFF, and R.L rellllaaaaax #longlivecrumpets

@Snowy motorbikes, cars, planes.... Boats? Is there anything you can't control!

@Bones YOU are the annoying one, how dare you summon me into the sports chat, you know I'm not to be trusted in here....

@Virgil I find the dream giggling and singing more creepy... In the dead of night she laughs or sings a little song, it was shake it off by taylor swift one night. She also says "(her dad's name) look at this mess you've made".

Ah man so tonight I have a snorer and then the wildling got into our bed and now I'm wide awake and contemplating whether to have a cup of tea or not. Bed time is a struggle at the moment and this comes and goes I wish I knew the reason for it, she just suddenly decides one week to hate bed then goes back to being fine with it for months on end. It's like exorcist scene tantrums from a normally very well behaved 4yo.
Electronics aren't a problem for us yet she can fully navigate my phone to find music but I manage to keep her away from it the majority of the time.

@mariner4life said in What are you listening to, right now................:

I iwll never understand women and their need to deliberately make themselves sad.

It's that whole romantic music that gets me, I love a banger too but a sad song or big ballad just gets me right in the feels.

@Virgil said in What are you listening to, right now................:

everybody hurts just makes anyone that listens to it fell sad... like really really sad

Love it, one of the qualities I look for in a song

@MN5 these guys..?

@mariner4life said in What are you listening to, right now................:

white guy

@MN5 everybody hurts???? Oh my days. Tell me a song that breaks your heart more?
