Word on the street is change the rules. Masks not needed,but wear your mask. Get it wrong we’ll take you to task. Infection, running rife in schools. We’re fed dross from the mouths of fools. Ping , now you have to stay off work. Says the bloke in Peerage by Burke. We’ve lost our paddle up the creek. Now,’s not the time in faith to leap. Why are we trusting such a jerk?
I am dismayed at the state of our country at the moment, our leaders are rudderless.
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and
hopefully in to light ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Honestly, I don’t know what to think or act like anymore with the masks and such. Everyone’s running around like normal but rates are rising again.
They are trying to kill us all………………… I loved the protest about lifting the lockdown on …….. the day the lockdown was lifted. The world has gone mad…………… Let me off!!!
no more like Trump hanger oners since day one that have not taken this seriously. It’s sad to see news where someone is begging a doctor for the vaccine and the doctor is telling them it’s too late, it won’t do any good. You’re dying. I can’t fathom just how horrifying that would be.
I understand what your are saying now, yes it’s horrendous! We lost my mother in law last June she had covid in the brain, it was awful. She had had her her 100th birthday in May. Then our middle son had covid at Christmas and was in and out of hospital, he is better now and back at work now. The worse thing was he does not live with us, we could not visit and we dropped his Christmas dinner round ,leave it on his doorstep and wave to him from thew his window. Yes it nasty and all other , treatments, diagnosis, operations all get put on the back burner…. Covid is real. ….sorry a bit of a rant there 🥺
All good, rant away..I survived it. Found out I had it on my 50th worst birthday ever. I thankfully wasn’t hospitalized, and this happened in the beginning before masking was thing.
It is awful isn’t it. I do hope you are fully recovered and escape long term affects. It’s a strange world right now isn’t it 💜💜
Honestly after vaccine #2 I finally felt like myself again. I never felt 100% on the daily, after getting Covid. So yeah thanks..despite being a heavy guy I don’t have serious health issues (the exception being very low testosterone) so I wasn’t hospitalized for Covid.
Thank goodness for that I do hope you and yours are all well and stay that way .

I do agree Chel it’s crazy here, I won’t go into it but it’s incredibly depressing. Keep safe and looking for those feet 🙂💜
Fantastic, Sis!
Thank you Sis 💜💜

sadly most of the people dying from Covid in America right now are both unvaccinated and too gullible and dumb to realize that the virus is a hoax.
Confusion?
