First world problems in a Covid world
Stuff about the insidious virus that is Covid-19
This morning Mrs Detrecto had to go out and run some errands. This meant that mini Detrecto and myself were left trying to navigate some home schooling and home working. Mini Detrecto is a beautiful child. She is funny and clever and has a unquenchable appetite for questions that I don’t know the answer to….
When home schooling during lockdown it’s important to try and find levity. So between tasks (or most of the time, more accurately, in the middle of a task – or probably even more accurately, 10 seconds into a task) we often break into doing something silly or talking about a subject that has absolutely nothing…
And so NSW is officially in lock down state wide. It’s been weird watching the pandemic remotely and just as the world appears to be getting back to some sort of normality, where I live suddenly bucks the trend with bigger numbers that we’ve had throughout the entire crisis. Schools are closed, 10:45am triggers a…
And so we’re back into some sort of Covid thing. We’re not in lockdown where I am but the slimy little bastard is making its way here slowly and so everyone has to wear a mask, both at work and whilst out and about doing stuff. That’s fine, no problem. For me it means I…
When I log into this blog to write a new post, I look to the right to pick a category that best fits what I’m about to blog about. With that being said I never know what I’ll write about when I open up a blog post. And secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I’ve noticed…
For what feels like the 47th time this month I have a cold. It’s one of those colds that I tend to get during winter or when the weather changes. It’s been the same pattern since I was a child. However in Covid times it feels like I should pop off and have a test…
Back working from home due to a cold, back in the caravan of misery, back into blogging when I should be working. Back trying to self motivate, back trying to convince myself that I can do this work. Just back. And speaking of Back – when working from home I usually listen to music or…
Covid can go fuck itself. It’s been a pretty shit week. I’ve needed some time off work as I’m suffering from a certain level of burnout and I was planning to speak to my GP this week about the possibility of some mental health related sick leave. A bout of suspected mild pneumonia put pay…
Back working from home as a result of a lot of rain and a small spike in Covid cases locally. In reality, what this looks like: Me getting some shitty flu like symptoms, having a day time sleep for the first time in ages and rocking up for a 3rd Covid test in the space…
And so another week starts of being a cross between Mr Freeze and Jesse Pinkman – stuck in a caravan but freezing cold. On the plus side I have managed to snag a tiny plug-in heater so my feet are warm. Today’s a weird day. I have all of the thoughts but none of the…
