Sunday eveningish

[white_hart]

Tomorrow I go back to the office. There are definitely some good things about that (being able to focus on work, getting to walk round the Parks), but I am still a bit nervous. I have bought some new masks which are FFP2 standard. They don't look any different from my existing fabric ones, but presumably the difference is in the inner layers.

I remain utterly appalled and depressed by the government's ongoing attempts to pretend there isn't a global pandemic going on, though it appears that (predictably) they have denied that there was any truth in yesterday's rumours that they would stop providing free lateral flow tests. Presumably it was a smokescreen to get something else through without an outcry, possibly a further reduction in self-isolation times.

I am so tired. I could barely manage to get myself out of bed to swim today. Finishing a simple jersey top (I just had to sew in the sleeves, which I'd already pinned and hem them and the bottom) felt like a huge amount of effort. It feels a bit early for my SAD to be this bad; the next few months are obviously going to be very tough going.

I gather you did swim, though? I hope it helped. Much sympathy for all of it.

I didn't skate, which was probably a mistake. It is such a bitter irony that poor mental health makes it so hard to do all the things that you know would make things better, if you could only do them.

I hope today goes OK.

I hope the office is ok, and you find the masks effective. What sort did you get?

I'm sorry your SAD is already so tough.

Best wishes for today. Where did you get the masks from?
