Feeling Awful

Just Feeling Awful

April 4, 2020

Not to worry.... It's not COVID19 that got me, it's the usual with me. Migraines. Cursed migraines that just don't know when to quit and leave me alone permanently. I thought by now, I wouldn't have to be going through these cussed migraines, that at some point in my life, I'd have "outgrown" them. But, nope, that would be wishful thinking I guess. 😡

That coupled with trying not to feel down for the sake of my family, just made me feel down. A lot of it probably has to do with not being able to see the rest of our family and being stuck in isolation forever. 💊

We've been in isolation for roughly 3 weeks now, having gone out twice to get groceries, medicine and pay bills. While we have a yard (that a lot of people don't have), it's still been rather wet and cold to do much outside in it. For those people who don't have yards but do have balconies and can read and understand French, I found this for you, Odile Koenig, Un potager sur mon balcon that I hope will be of interest. Other than that today was nice, but I wasn't feeling well. So because of that I didn't get to go out today either, or do much at all. 🌱

Looking at the weather forecast for the upcoming week, it looks like it'll be relatively warm and sunny on Monday and Tuesday, so I might go out and try to at least clean the weed matting off to start to clean it up a bit to get ready for planting. Which won't be until near the end of the month from what I can see in the long range forecast for the area. Though, I might still try to see if the soil is workable around the middle of the month, in order to give the plants more growing time.🌱

I see neighbours of ours have been out removing their car tents and raking lawns and tidying up their yards. It gives us hope that we'll soon start seeing spring growth, buds on the trees, green grass and shrubs and maybe even some flowers too, soon. That'll do a lot to lift my mood, because it's beautiful around here in the spring, summer and autumn months. 🌸

But I dearly wish I could see other family members, especially over the Easter holiday. Though, I know that's not to be, this year for sure. With any luck, if we're still around I guess we'll be able to have our Easter celebration next year.  Maybe I'll make a few things to decorate the place - just to lift our spirits here and to use as background when we video chat with the family - to give it some Easter spirit, that they can also see, using the ideas found here: 👪

66 DIY Easter Decorations to Add Some Cheer to Your Home This April - I like the way they decorated some eggs and I might try that. If nothing else, it'll kill some time. It's not like we don't have any of that these days. It's not like we're in a rush to go somewhere or get things done because we're super busy.✏✂
