Anger

[kerravonsen]

I am weary of
Rage simmering in my bones
Anger's acid eroding my peace
More bad news
More bad news
More bad news
No
Don't tell me
More bad news
I am bottled in my home
Masked for my life
While others waste their breath
Spreading death.
Hugs are the currency I need
Alas, they are few
And far between
In my little household of one.
It has been a long, long, long, long, long
Pandemic.
It ain't over
And I am weary.

Hugs to you, hope things start looking better soon. I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks.
But I'm not sure if things are going to get better at all. Which is one reason why I feel so weary of it all.

Hug.

It's horrible being trapped.

I find the only way I can sleep some nights is to avoid reading the news for a couple of days. I've managed to resist the temptation so far today...

I have been avoiding the news for many years. However, various people I follow on Twitter tweet about various things that are happening. And I don't want to cut myself off from them.

I can understand that. We need human contact. Without friends, we wither and die.

*gentle hug* I always mask when I leave the house.

The government has basically given up completely. It is now no longer required to report COVID infection nor is it mandatory to isolate any more. They're just assuming that everyone is going to get COVID, and that it's just going to be like the flu. Well, f**k them. I'm immunocompromised because of one chronic illness, and I have breathing issues and fatigue due to another. I don't want to risk getting hospitalised because I can't breathe, nor do I want to compound my fatigue problems by getting Long COVID.

Am sorry to hear that. I see less and less people wearing masks and someone in the media said 'we're living in a post-Covid world' (whut?). I have to actively search for weekly covid figures and we're getting a new spike in cases... and we've got open borders again. Hmm.
