I’m once again doing a #WDIIA post. I skipped them on Wednesday and yesterday, because I didn’t feel like writing the same old shit again and again. Today I was seriously confused about what day it is. The staff awoke me at around 8:30AM and said I had to shower. I normally shower on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays if I have no outside obligations such as visiting my husband. Obviously right now I don’t. On the other days, I do a quick wash. Now I seriously thought it was either Thursday or Saturday, but it’s Friday, yay!
I must say I awoke some 30 minutes before that from a really horrible nightmare. In the nightmare, I somehow left the facility to visit my husband and then couldn’t come back because of the lockdown. It ended with my husband being angry with me for wanting to go back to the facility at all.
The nightmare was somehwat realistic, in that indeed the new visiting rules that have been put in place for care facilities say that, if family take a client home, they cannot return to the facility until this COVID-19 lockdown thing is over. Family or others cannot visit the facility either unless in exceptional circumstances such as if a client is terminally ill. Obviously this means I won’t see my husband for another while still to come.
It’s the “working” Friday, so we did get day actiivities at home today. This meant, as it has consistently for the last while, that I did go outside twice for walks. I went for another long walk in the evening. As such, I reached 10K steps again. I looked up how I compare to my sister, since we’re Fitbit friends, and I took nearly 1.5 times her steps over the past seven days.
It’s now past 9PM. It’s the weekend now, so we had chips and soda this evening. Tomorrow morning, I’m going to have bread with a boiled egg on it for Breakfast. We get boiled eggs delivered to us by a former staff here who has her own chickens. I assumed she wouldn’t be allowed to come now that the facility is in lockdown, but maybe she puts the eggs at our doorstep and then leaves. So at least that tradition can continue for now.
How was your day?

It’s great you still get the farm fresh eggs, those are hard to beat. I hope you have a calm and nightmare free weekend.

We haven’t had eggs for weeks! It’s funny the things you miss when you can no longer have them! I never thought I’d miss eggs so much… 😔

Oh, that’s interesting. I thought stores would still have eggs, as they’re fresh so people don’t stockpile them. I understand you miss them though.

I thought it strange to that’s there’s no eggs. Fingers crossed, there will be soon… 💜

That’s really so bad you can’t see your husband at all now, and for an undetermined amount of time. I hope you can stay in touch frequently in other ways though.

It’s going to be a tough road on the not visiting care homes front. My 90 year old mother lives in one. I hope this thing is finished with soon! Hang in there, Astrid. ❤
