• Day 6 - All a bit calm again

    March 18, 2020 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Last night was the first night since Saturday that I wasn’t woken by shortness of breath during the night, and it was lovely to wake up and realise that I had made it all the way to the morning! My lungs even felt much clearer when I woke up too. It’s funny how things that you take for granted normally can make you so happy in other circumstances. Being able to take an (almost) normal breath is bliss, and such a help to my mindset that had taken a hit over the past few days!

    With this new, positive mindset, I was up by 9am and working on my chemistry classes. I recorded two lectures and sent out a few emails. I then took a break at lunchtime to watch the last few episodes of “Love is Blind.” The last episode, with the weddings, is completely mad, and even Peter joined me to watch the couples decide, on the alter, whether they wanted to get married or not! Ah, light entertainment is so wonderful these days!

    In the afternoon, I booked weekly Tesco deliveries, to make sure that we’ll be able to get food delivered over the next few weeks, especially as the number of confirmed Covid cases inevitably rises.

    In the evening, to continue the calm, I put on lyric FM, read a magazine and then me and Peter sat around for a while reminiscing about previous ski holidays! Although Peter was not happy with the jazz music being played on lyric!

    Finally, later in the evening, I’d a catch up Zoom meeting with Mum, Fiona and Anna. These video meet ups are lovely. Peter had one with his family earlier too. We should probably have been doing them before all of this really! Before bed, we’d a chance to watch an episode of The Handmaid’s Tale, and then, quite tired, and not fully better, I headed off for what would hopefully be another good night’s rest.
