Saturday, 9th May, 2020. A day off in our world where every day is a monday, online business doesn’t know the meaning of a weekend and it is three weeks since I have not turned my computer on!
Today is Saturday and today is a day off!
Every day I look out this window and sit at my kitchen table that has become my office desk. This is about to change and I will move work, move me, move george ….they say moving house is as stressful as someone dying….guess we’re getting used to stress!
It will be a change, why should we get too comfortable, when others can’t use their cottages because the government says so! Nope don’t leave Sue in peace….But wait….it’s not all about her!
On a positive note….it’s a day off! I can clean and shop and ring my friends! By all accounts the sun will shine!
As we soar towards Level 2 next week, where shops can open, haircuts can be had (by other than mums and wives), cafes and bars can open (to a point), social distance with strangers and small hugs with loved ones….we will realise the impact the economic freeze has had on our lives and find out if we still have jobs!
The aftermath
And now we gasp
To keep abreast
Of mortgages, bills and money stress
The working day
That’s flying past
Might actually be
Our very last
We work from home
We work apart
We work in hope
It’s just the start
The more we read
The more we know
The loss of jobs
Will start to show
Homes may be lost
Rents may be high
But we have each other
And we didn’t die!
All who wander are not Lost girls
