So there are going to be new restrictions next Monday. Cases of Covid rising rapidly in Norwich although a lot better than the rest of the country.

As I still have a big problem hanging over my head I am going to have to get some help. But I have to wake up first!

I lost my temper with my family yesterday over, you guessed it, religion. They are Roman Catholics and I am a Humanist.  Need I say more. Normally we muddle along but yesterday I became annoyed over what I call superstition and they call belief. I apologised for losing my temper later but all is not forgiven yet.

I believe that when family members think of my schizophrenia they think of the time I was psychotic a very long time ago. When I or my friends think of it we think of the many, many years of me rocking back and forth in an armchair (something I still do) heavily medicated unable to think straight or do anything. Even now I struggle.

I spent the whole weekend trying to sort out a problem mostly by text message. I am now absolutely exhausted. I find that technical things are really a nightmare!

My son and his partner visited for a few hours yesterday. They were very busy whilst they were here, fitted a new cat flap, took their stuff from the attic, helped me with a problem and trimmed some of the knots from my cat’s tummy. Excellent!

I do hate salespeople. They phone you up and keep going on and on and on… There should be a law about them… There are probably lots. I just wish they would leave me alone!

I have been busy stuffing envelopes for the Labour Party and was so tired today. Had so much to do plus distracted by the news that Donald Trump and his First Lady both have Covid-19. Better late than never when it comes to this.

Only one month left of furlough. Goodness knows what will happen next!

Apparently there will be a Covid-19 Press Conference by the Prime Minister this afternoon. About time!
