Update

Hello!

Thought I’d give a brief update as to what’s been going on in my life as I haven’t posted on here recently.

So currently in my life, I am still trying to adjust to this lockdown lifestyle. Like everyone I suppose.

I’m working from home still. And have been for just over 3 weeks now. I’m still finding it weird. Like I’ve always tried to keep my work life and home life separate. But now, that is pretty hard to do!

I do try and keep a routine to stop me from going insane. For example, my work hours are 9 till 5 (cue Dolly Parton.. 😉😂) so I make sure I only work within those hours. I turn my laptop and work phone on pretty much dead on 9 and turn them both off dead on 5.

I also make sure I have a few breaks in between working. To get fresh air, a little bit of exercise and have a break from the screen. Fortunately I do have people to talk to at home so I’m not completely on my own. As well as speaking to my colleagues on the phone, via email and via video chat, I also am able to speak to my parents and brother as they are around in the house too.

What else? Erm.. Well we’ve been doing the clap for NHS on a Thursday for the last couple of weeks. I really like doing because not only is it showing are gratitude and support to the NHS and all key workers, I feel like it is bringing people together. In my street, there is a few of us who go out. We all clap and also end up having a chat…. From a distance obviously. We have a little giggle and catch up. And I find it so warming and just so nice that we all have that moment once a week where we have a little get together. It wouldn’t surprise me if, at the end of all this, we’ll be having street parties! Now that would be amazing!

So yeah that’s really it at the moment. I’m missing people who I love and care about outside of my household. Friends, family, boyfriend, his family etc. We keep in touch through calls, messages and video chat (greatful that we live in an age where we have technology like this!) but it’s just not the same😔

Hope everyone reading this is doing okay and staying safe. Keep smiling, enjoy the sunshine, take care and speak soon!
