Firstly, this is not meant to trivialise what this terrible virus is doing and the devastating effect it is having on families. I am greatful not to have been too badly affected by this crisis, this virus, and hopeful that will remain the case.
This is simply a mention to my more mundane troubles and woes of the lock down. How about your own?
1. I feel very uninspired, lazy and lethargic - I suspect the fact that I have decided to diet is a factor in this, its withdrawal from all that shit that we tend to eat. But I am going to stick at it and take my Wellman tablets.
2. Polish Mince Beef - I went to Sainsbury's yesterday to make sure I had sufficient supplies for over the Easter period. This was my 3rd visit to this store in the last 2 weeks. There are good social distancing measures been put in place by the store and the staff are managing it in a commendable way. So having waited in the queue for approx 15 mins in I strolled and up the first isle which is fresh meat - for 2 weeks it was impossible to get mince so I was surprised to see the shelf stacked with it, oh and even better its reduced to 1.99 a pack - then I noticed it was Polish!! What the feck is Sainsburys doing selling Polish mince?
Still 2 packs of it made a nice homemade chilli
3. Itchy Nose - This happened on my last 2 visits to the store and didn't disappoint this time. After grabbing some diced chicken breast I moved on and up into the second isle, and that's when it started. I developed a very irritating itchy nose which of course I don't want to touch after handling things in store. I was near crazed with it by the time I got round and out the store where I immediately fetched my hand sanitiser and after applying had a very satisfying nose scratch. I suspect I'm not on my own here!
4. Wine - 2 nice bottles of Pinot Noir was part of my Sainsbury's shop - this is the weekly alcohol allowance I have gave myself while dieting. So one for Easter Friday night (tonight) and one for Easter Sunday night. Lovely!
So, back to my binge watching Designated Survivor last night. Tell you what let's crack open one of them bottles and just have a glass, it will just mean less on Friday night. Two episodes later, tell you what I may as well just drink the rest of that bottle and forget about having any Friday night!
01.20 AM - feck it, lets get pished. Opens the other bottle and based on it being empty when I got up thismorning afternoon I clearly supped the lot. So, now I sit here with feck all having drunk my whole alcohol allowance for the week. Stroll on next Thursday!!
5, New Haircut - So, gets out of bed and heads straight to the bathroom for a pish prior to showering. Soon as I walked in and caught myself in the mirror the memory came flooding right back. As I was getting merrily pished I decided to take a break from Designated Survivor to carry out what had suddenly become an overwhelming urge. No barber any time soon, so lets shave the head (the seed had been planted from something on the TV earlier in the evening).
So now I am looking at the results, it's a feckin mess. I remember pain due to the trimmers not being properly charged and put them on charge for a bit but its supposed to be a 24 hr charge so I just made do trying to get shaved to a number 2. Luckily I found I had left the trimmers on charge overnight so was able to tidy it up a bit. But its not a good look. Feck it!! The sobriety for the next week will clearly do me good.
