A STRANGE TIME: WEEK ONE

I thought I would document what I've been doing in lockdown, how I felt and anything else I think of. I wanted to write this to look back on so here's week one.

Sunday 22nd March 2020
We're having a strange time at the moment in the world it started in February in China there's this virus called Coronavirus and now it's pretty much in every country. The Prime minster has said today we can't go out and have to stay home although we can only go out for essentials which is food and medicine. People are panic buying that started of with toilet roll and pasta which is ridiculous if you're one of them STOP NOW! I can't go to the jobcentre which isn't exactly bad haha but I do have to keep updating my journal which I do anyway. The buses are empty, the supermarkets are full of people panic buying and a lot of the non essential shops are shut. I don't know how long this will be going on for but everything is cancelled which is annoying but understandable. People are still going out, socialising, some at the beach etc which baffles me because why would you need to go out for that? many people don't have common sense! All the pubs, restaurants and gyms have closed. Also the beauty salons and any other non essential shops. Everything feels weird and strange when you do go out because no ones about but fresh air is important.
Monday 23rd March 2020
I woke up at 3.30am which wasn't fun I then couldn't get back to sleep till about 4.30/5am I'm not sure what time it was then I woke up at 7am :( I went for a walk which was nice and got some bits in the co op. I had a morning nap which I don't normally do lol. I've been watching the big bang theory on Netflix and I watched Brogan Tate and Charlotte Taylor's YouTube vlogs.
Tuesday 24th March 2020
I slept better last night which was good. I went to Lidl for some essentials and technically a walk and it was sunny again which helps my mood. I did feel anxious going outside though it does feel weird still but trying to find things to do. I did struggle today I felt more bored than I normally do I just feel off and weird. I had a nap but I still feel strange.
Wednesday 25th March 2020
I've had a better day today I spent time in the garden weeding, went for a walk round Upper Fenn, the weather was nice and sunny. I had a bath and listened to music. I had stir fry for dinner, I also watched the Simpsons on Disney life and some more big bang theory.
Thursday 26th March 2020

I felt better today which is good I spent time outside in the garden doing some weeding it was sunny but also a bit windy. I had sausages, chips and beans for dinner. I watched Unabomber on Netflix and the big bang theory.
 Friday 27th March 2020
I went for a walk to get some bread. I woke up at 5.30am which wasn't good :( but oh well I think this whole virus thing is making me lose sleep. I didn't nap and we had an Indian take away which was nice. I still can't remember what day it is lol oh well. I felt blah today so I put makeup on which I haven't done in awhile I do miss it as I'm not going anywhere it seems pointless to put it on.
Saturday 28th March 2020
I went to sainsburys and QD to get a few bits. I hoovered my room, had leftover Indian for lunch and I had a nap. I started a documentary on Netflix called killer inside: the true story of Aaron Hernandaz. I had pancakes and listened to some music because somehow I could get a month free on Apple music I don't know how because I had it when I was on EE and I thought that was it ah well best make the most of it.
Sunday 29th March 2020
The end of the week well this has been hard and I've felt more anxious which I don't normally it has felt weird going out. Not sure how long this is going on for but I'm trying to be positive. Today I changed my bed, made cornflake cakes and helped my mum sort the under stairs cupboard.



Thanks for reading my first week on lockdown be sure to look out for next weeks!
