Day 86

15th March 2022

Lately..

Remember that movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?

Well, Cameron should be the poster boy for Covid because this picture pretty much sums it up.

Liam and I lay like this drifting in & out of consciousness while the kids, dosed up on Panadol & Neurofen, played video games from sun up to sun down.

We physically could not parent them or spend time with them or have them cared for.

We’re all on a 7-day isolation lockdown.

Today, I felt marginally better and so I thought we should attempt to do some ‘schoolwork’.

I took them through English and Liam taught Math’s.

Handwriting – Easy to teach. I sit there and eat grapes; they write and eat grapes. ✅

Reading poetry – another easy one for mama.

Dad managed to do Math’s revision. First day out of bed for him on day 5!

They were very fidgety and distracted having been in video game land for 4 days, but we got through it.

I was tired and cranky. 😞

I don’t know why I attempted History.

Delirium?

We learnt how Jacob favoured Joseph and all his brothers were jealous and threw him into a pit & then sold him as a slave to some passers-by.

The kids thought this was pretty funny & they referenced poor Dewy from Malcolm In The Middle.

I made them go outside for a while and then we went back to bed, and they went back to video games.

There is a Mt. Everest of clean laundry to fold and a very antsy dog wondering why he hasn’t been out for his daily run, but none of that is being tended to right now.

My mum dropped over some grocery things & friends dropped over Panadol & goodies & meals.

We have everything we need and are very grateful, but this totally sucks! 😭

The rain finally stops and we become house bound. 😒

Ok, here’s a coinkydink.

Last April we went to see a band called King Gizzard and I broke my jaw.

It’s now almost April, and a whole year later. Liam just went to see King Gizzard & he gets Covid the next day.

Is this band trying to kill us? 🤔
