Lifting Covid-19 measures
It seems like a while since I’ve written about Covid-19, or perhaps it’s not. I don’t want to come across as jaded, negative, or for people to think, oh here she is again talking about Covid, but it’s handling in the UK is a real issue, whether you read my blogs or not and it’s not going away.
Mental Health
I buy into the philosophy that if a self-help book helps my mental health, then I buy the book. I used to wile away the hours in book stores, back in the day, when my children were small, (whilst they were looking at their own books) looking at self-help books, to see if there was anything that made me feel better about what I was dealing with, around my mental health. In Covid mental health isn’t something to be ignored and if it is, we ignore it at our peril.
My ‘Books’
Years on, and I have shone the spot light on my own mental health and have written two books, based on mental and emotional health, if you want to check out Cerebral Palsy: ‘A Story’ and ‘Spirituality, Healing and Me’ via the link at the end of this blog.
So, now the Covid precautionary measures are being dismantled completely, and whilst it isn’t going away, the UK government are washing their hands off it and us.
The truth never sits comfortably
What I continue to write the truth on my blog, the truth never sits comfortably. And although that is how it goes, it doesn’t mean what I write isn’t the truth. Intuitively, I write the truth and that isn’t sitting comfortably with me either. Getting my thoughts out there lessens my anxiety, so I continue to write.
I can’t speak for other governments; I am not following others’ politics, so all I can do is write about my thoughts and feelings on what is happening around me and in the country I live.
The UK Covid-19 mistakes
In the UK and from the beginning of Covid-19 mistakes have been made. We’re left with vaccines that give protection, but don’t continue to protect. There will be many people who will have reduced protection, unless they choose to take the vaccine again, but how realistic is retaking the vaccine and how many times are you willing to retake the vaccine before enough is enough?
By the end of the month in the UK, all measures including the need to self-isolate are being lifted, which means you can walk around and spread Covid. The UK government are saving themselves but are failing to save us all including the ‘four nations.’
Conquer and Divide
The UK government rule on ‘conquer and divide’ and that is seeping into our communities and into society as a whole, with divisions, rifts, arguments and mean-spirited behaviour being normalised. Having spoken to others who have been subjected to mean behaviour; I have also had my fair share.
That said, it is important to pull back and change so that we can all function in ways that work for each of us. Supporting one another is important for our mental health, for our longevity. It is important to make it happen.
As I write on my blog, many have also taken to social media to tweet about how they feel. What they’re tweeting about, isn’t dissimilar to what I write about. They are troubled that this is what they have. I shall continue to write.
Conclusion
In another attempt for the UK PM to save his political bacon, he has announced that all measures be scrapped by the end of February, including the need to self-isolate if testing positive for Covid.
This has been welcomed by the right wing Conservatives but the Scottish Government has stated this is not supported by any evidence and according to The Times newspaper today (Source: https://epaper.thetimes.co.uk/the-times) it has not been recommended by the government’s own advisers the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, reaffirming the suggestion, it is part of wider moves to try to save the PM’s Premiership.
He also knows that if his party continue with Covid measures, their back-benchers (who have already told them they don’t support the measures) will stop supporting them in getting policies through Parliament.
It is important to know that the PM trying to save his own bacon and putting others in harms way, is abhorrent and unacceptable. Putting millions of people including disadvantaged and high risk people at risk, is a new all-time low, even for the UK government.

When you stop for a minute and actually open your eyes and properly think things through, you realise things aren't what they seem, people aren't what they seem. We hurt those close to us because we feel like we should be punished for the past but that shouldn't be the case. We pretend to be happy because it is easier than having to explain why we are not. You only get one shot in life and I am done worrying about what is right and what is wrong. I will stay away from those I hurt for their own good and I will work on my own happiness and my own life because I and I alone is the only one that can accomplish it for myself, no one else can do that for me.

When you think you're on your own, going it alone, you're NOT. You have an unseen Friend with you whom you will see again. Really.

New on the blog: Today has been emotional with the full moon energy knocking at me as she always does I can feel the shifts. It was emotionally writing this post and I almost didn’t share it-which is why I ended up sharing it. “Sometimes even us lone wolves want someone to just see us.” #lonewolf #alpha #goingitalone #blog https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm3yx89l4xH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ma4idcmi7so

So I've tracked every day in @myfitnesspal for the last 345 days, and I've reached my goal weight and then some! I've made the decision that come February I will be at Day 360, close enough to a year, and am gunna not track for 1 whole month, this includes 2 trips away so will be sketchy, but during the times I'm not away I will track only my weight and see if doing this for 360 days has taught me anything in terms of my relationship with food! __ #myfitnesspal #food #tracking #macros #micros #scary #goingitalone

On my way to the first of my last shift rotation before departure. Nerves are really taking hold now. I’m anxious to get on with it as the waiting is just giving my imagination more time to come up with more rubbish scenarios. I keep thinking maybe alone was too bold of me. Maybe I need a heavier sleeping bag. And the list goes on.
The stress of making sure I have everything I need is dier and I know I’ll settle on friday morning when none of it matters anymore as if I’m without it then ill have to make do.
The weather that was looking to be good has as predicted turned to crap, rain all day. I have a feeling it’ll be like that for much of the journey.
