On the mend....

Really good news that Anna is on the mend. It's been a week of worry and her frustration at being stuck in the house for ten days now is showing. She's left with a cough, no taste and still sluggish. Just as worrying Amy tested positive for Covid this week with cough, feeling wiped out and headaches. It is of huge relief to us both that she has been vaccinated as this killer respiratory illness could have been much worse. Thank God for the fates and good timing, Amy seems to be on the mend too. Other adults have not been so lucky in the last year. It's a strange place to be in as a family; with no affection, no hugs, no contact and giving each other such a wide birth. You almost become a little frightened of the ones you love.  Lucy and I remain negative for now and have spent the week cleaning, hanging out together at distance, decorating her room, cooking, playing evening Potter Uno, singing badly and virus dodging. I've so enjoyed her company 😊All being well, the world will let us out and about on Friday lunchtime. For Anna, this will have been fifteen stressful and difficult days. She's been awesome, carrying this worry for one so young virtually without our physical support. I continue to believe that everything happens for a reason and the fates led us to this house and all the space we have that makes such challenging circumstances easier. Despite this space, I am tired and feeling penned in, as picking up everything to keep us going in running the house and more. Can't cook, won't cook seems to have gone out of the window! 😖 One day at a time!
