This week has been a struggle. I’m beginning to feel a real cabin fever, like I need to escape somewhere. I guess, I’m not the only one with lock down restrictions, but even without them I’m not sure where I’d go. So, I’m stuck at home with the cats for company, watching Christmas movies and doing my crochet. So this weeks snapshot are of Ash.

Ordinary Moments
Somedays I feel like I’m glued to this settee. Just like Ash. I sit here, crochet, read, watch television. I bet some would feel jealous. It’s not as good as it seems though. I would love to get up, jump in the car and go to the shops. Yes, I’d wear my mask, I don’t mind. I’d be good at social distancing I believe. I don’t actually know, because I haven’t even tried it. I’ve not been out. It’s been 37 days since I left the house at all and that was to go to the hospital.
So, I sit, glued to the settee with my cats for company and my family driving me nuts.
I think my family are fed up of each other’s company too. My eldest hasn’t left the house since March. He refuses to go out, even in the car. My daughter isn’t going to work. My husband is getting increasingly frustrated by not being able to visit his friends and family. We only have each other. Which should be good, but sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes it’s hard.
I’ve not given in to putting up the Christmas tree and decorations though. That can wait a bit longer. But, I have been watching Christmas Movies at the weekend. I get up earlier than everyone else, grab myself a cup of tea and my crochet and watch a Christmas Movie. It’s a good start to the day, a simple way of feeling good for a while. Now, if only I could make it last, or at least share the good feeling with everyone else. The chances of getting anyone else in my family to watch at Christmas Movie is a million to one! Even the kids.
What have you been doing to pass time or make yourself feel good?
Ahh! I am feeling the same. It is horrible not being able to go anywhere.
I hope the cats are good company. Ash really is a cutie. x

Ash is cute isn’t he, I just wish he was a bit more cuddly, he wont sit on our laps at all!

We are just out of our second lockdown – we’ve been 3 weeks ahead of the UK all along – but I totally understand you. Grab Ash and go and have a quiet cuddle with him away from everyone else. #MMBC
Good idea Lisa, I hope your freedom lasts x

Aw, what cute company! I find that I can not just stay in the house; even getting outside just to talk a nature trail alone or with my immediate family helps tremendously. I can see why you are getting some definite cabin fever.

Sorry to hear it’s been a tough time. It does sound really hard not leaving the house for so long. I can’t believe your eldest hasn’t left the house since March either. We go out for walks all the time, but even so my eldest is getting increasingly grumpy and making life difficult for everyone else. I can’t imagine what it would be like if we couldn’t get out.
I’m glad the Christmas movies are helping a bit. I hope you still have lots left to watch!

I completely get the cabin fever. I think I feel a bit institutionalised now – it’s just what it is and I have such low expectations! x
Awww what a cute photo – Thanks for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
