Thursday texts Happy New Year now, before the phone lines go down x

MORNING! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Terrible night’s sleep. My brother’s wife has suspected Covid (flu like symptoms, can’t taste anything) which started yesterday and just left me dreaming about it. I kept waking up feeling grotty and thinking I couldn’t smell anything and having to get up to go and sniff things :D :(

Anyway, hopefully as she hasn’t been in contact with my Mum since Christmas Day, it won’t have gotten to her, but it does mean now I’m the only one able to look after my Mum for the next 10 days, which is not going to be easy. Ah well...
 
Morning! Low-key pleased I've nothing planned for tonight, I always find New Year a bit of a chore and I see no reason to celebrate Christmas ending and things going back to normal.
 
I dreamt i had an overdue library book with a massive fine.


Wishing your sister in law well @Sheena, I did read that those infected at Xmas would start to show symptoms now.

Yes, well, I’ve not been overjoyed with my brother’s handling of Christmas. He has 5 kids and 3 grandchildren and they’ve all got together. One of his sons has been having the other side of his family together all over Christmas too, so I imagine that’s the route. Thankfully, the contact with my mum has been minimal since Christmas and because of no symptoms at all until yesterday anywhere, it seems likely she’s ok.
 
They've introduced the lateral flow tests in my area because the infection rate is so high. You can go have it done to see if you're infected only if you have no symptoms.

Going back to this though, this level of meet is ridiculous. No shade on your family but have people NO sense?
 
Morning.

Very quiet this morning. There's usually a real buzz around New Year but things are very different today. As they should be, of course, but you can see how glum so many people are.

As much shade as you like. I was fucking furious- especially after we’d already broken rules to have her go to him Christmas Day in the first place with the promise of “it’ll be just us”.

Yeah, it was, but you’ve seen all of your other kids indoors around that day which entirely defeats the point, especially when they don’t give a fuck.

And thing is, my family isn’t even THAT reckless! There’s far worse! It was “Christmas” so it didn’t count. The government and its messaging is to blame for all of this.
 
Oh absolutely. The lack of clear messaging and consequence from the beginning is why we're in this mess
 
Wishing your sister-in-law better @Sheena Hopefully this will make them take things a bit more seriously.

Secretly/not so secretly hoping some of my rule-breaking friends develop (mild) symptoms soon after some of their blasé attitudes towards Christmas. If anything, losing your smell (which happened to me in March) is actually a bit disconcerting and scary! Yes you can live without it, but to suddenly not be able to smell anything is WEIRD.
 
No fresh snow here but it’s been that cold the past two days it’s all FROZEN. Still on the ground this morning and looks lovely in the sunshine! :disco:
 
Es schneit again here too.

The one benefit of working from home is that I haven’t had to travel through it this winter.
 
Morning. I feel like utter shit which is likely just period related, but have had a sore throat for the last couple of days and somehow keep sneezing. I too am constantly going around sniffing things. This is where all my scented candles come in handy.
 
Thought I only drank half a bottle of wine last night but actually I nearly finished it and I feel like SHITE.
 
Feeling a bit of a wobble tonight, spending NYE alone, so I might just stay off Noopy for fear of being a downer

just over 4 hours left, the NHK countdown musical spectacular Kouhaku just started with some 8/10 twinkles wearing too much makeup
 
I'm meeting up with friends somewhere around Tours for NYE. But it appears that all the sniffy sniffy plans they had prepared have fallen through. So now everyone's counting on me as the sole provider.

One of my closest friends has covid. She's very poorly. I saw her Christmas Eve but so far I'm all good.

My work has gone mental thanks to the new tier 4 status. We are now having to cancel pretty much everything apart from dying animal appts.

Is it too early for gin?

Yet we're all allowed to see any old dog at work :bad:

We've been told to deal with life threatening things. So obviously RTAs, collapsed animals etc.

Anything that can be done remotely like ear infections, vomitting , can be done over the phone and meds given.

We are doing overdue vaccines of 3 months because that's potentially a risk to life.

But that's it.

How urgent is eye care star?
