You be careful at work tomorrow Kate. xx

Hi Carolann, not too bad, how are you.
Richard
That sounds interesting and demanding, it is good you can work from home.
My daughter works in a pharmacy, I do worry about her but finally she’s got proper masks now.
Take care x

Carolann, thank you for asking how I am…that’s what makes this site a special safe site where we think of each other.
Keeping busy …running out of new things to do. Keeping in touch with family and friends via video links, had a family online chat where 10 of us were on the screen for 2 hours and we are doing it again on Sunday.
But, even though I’ve been on my own now for just over 2 years, self isolating is a challenge on all the coping techniques we put in place.
But we draw on strengths we never knew we had and we will get through this and see the world and life in a new light I’m sure 
Stay safe & positive

how is your health today Richard
Hi Karie, Still the same, can’t understand why I don’t feel better after all this time, will have a word with the doc when she phones tomorrow, how are you today ?
i think when we are at our lowest which you are your immune system cant do its job properly. Therefore illnesses will linger can i ask what your symptoms are xx
Sometimes I wish I was working to take my mind off things, I know you said I should not do it, but I can’t help it, it’s Monday again
Got very dry cough, sore throat, headaches, always tired,
but u can breath ok. ?
im always tired Richard i honestly put that down to grief i get a headache if im been crying as well i also been having fast heart beat and chest pains but it looks like it anxiety build up. clearly grieving takes its tool maybe thats why your feeling so poorly xx
Yes not short of breath or any chest pain
Guess it is no surprise when you think what we are going through at the moment, combined with the lockdown

its no shock at all that its going to take its toll. Being stuck in for long periods of time isnt good for someone in the right frame of mind. So your already low you have picked up a illness and your body just isnt fighting it.
I have noticed lately that my memories of Jean are more vivid and intense and quite disturbing and upsetting

it must be the process i have noticed the same there is only a week between jean and chip passing. the dreams have started i have memories jumping in all the time i can smell chip. i have pored my heart out to my niece on fb today i cant understand why its getting worse the pain is getting worse yet time is meant to heal. Clearly we hadnt grieved properly and sitting with our thoughts all day its driving us mad
I know it is awful, I do wish I could do a little job to get me out for a couple of mornings, no chance now
would you be able to after lock down ? what did you do before you retired ?
There maybe a chance, I was offered a job when I retired at a local company, but I said no at the time because I took early retirement to look after Jean and we had made plans to just go off when we felt like it, ironic isn’t it, but I worked in our family business as wholesale fishmerchants
