Today I am sad. I woke up sad and I stayed sad throughout the day. And I allowed myself to be sad. I sat on the sofa with my sadness all day long and that was absolutely fine. I will end this day and I will try again tomorrow. Last night I had an anxiety […]Read Post ›

Tomorrow is my seventh day of isolation. It looks like I am okay, no symptoms. So I have this to hang on too, which is good. Today it was actually a good day. I am struggling to keep track of time, I am desperate to cuddle my niece, take a packed tube to Central London, […]Read Post ›

And I/ve got […]Read Post ›
