Hello, well before I tell my story, I hope you are all well and that you all have a wonderful festive time whatever you are doing.
Gosh, I didn't expect after last years Christmas and having to isolate for 14 days before spending Christmas with my grandma, that this year would be worse. Not that I didn't love spending time with my grandma, but the whole isolating part and not seeing any other friends or family around that time was tough.
I am planning on staying with my family in Scotland from next weekend for a week (really needing that break right now), but given that Scotland have different rules over the festive period, I am unable to see anyone else around Christmas and New Year, which means I am alone.
I am working during this time which does make it a little easier as it gives me some distraction, and makes this waiting time go quickly, but it is still hard mentally. The news and this new variant, and even the amount of people I know with the virus right now, is scary, and it seems to only be getting worse by the day. I work with the vulnerable, so even if I were to have seen anyone, I would have had to be really careful and limit the amount of people I saw anyway, as wouldn't want to put my customers at risk, or even myself with how this virus is spreading right now, but I can't help but feel sad that I am unable to enjoy Christmas. I do know though that it is only a day, and that we should be treasuring each and every moment of every day, not just Christmas, so if you are feeling these emotions like me, just know you are doing what is right for the safety and wellness of yourself and others and that things will get better I promise.
Here's to a happy and healthy new year for us all.
