Today I have woken up with a little less pain from my fibromyalgia and costochrondia than what I have had the last few weeks. I have a distinct lack of spoons, but I will take less pain over spoons any day!
I have dishes to catch up on and washing and cleaning to do, but I am letting it go one more day. Today the Victorian Government has lifted the lockdown a bit and allowed us to go see family, as long as there are no more than 5 people at the one time.
So we are getting ready to go to see my youngest child, Dianne who I wrote about in my other blog yesterday. She lives an hour's drive from us. No doubt I will fall asleep en route to her place. That's totally normal for me and Chris is used to seeing me nearly being garrotted with the seatbelt on long drives...
Schools in Victoria are gradually returning in a few weeks. I never thought I would say this, but I miss the mums taking their children to school and even the school buses!
Life is gradually returning to some semblance of normal and I am very happy about it. Online classes and visits with family are OK, but nothing compared to face to face!
Mind you, we are still going to be careful. Lots of hand washing still and today, lots of theatrical kisses without actually kissing. A big Mwah each side of the cheeks at a respectful distance will have to suffice. But hey, it's better than kissing my phone screen on FaceTime!
Hope you had a wonderful visit with your daughter! I got to visit with mine on Mother's Day and it felt so wonderful to see them in person again.
ReplyDeleteI had the best time... it's so true that absence makes the heart grow fonder! :)
DeleteI had to stop by when I saw the pic of your baby kissing you through the phone at the Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop. I guess that is the new normal for us grandmas for awhile! Adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI know I am one of millions... but seeing them face to face is just the best feeling! We just have to do what we have to do. Thanks for commenting today!
DeleteI pray your visit was life giving! And your kiss on the phone screen is precious! Praying you have more days of less pain. laurensparks.net
