Here in the UK the instructions have been kinda weird. We are in lock down but not really, but kinda have rules, but they are just guidelines, but if you break them you will get fined, unless you are an MP in which case you can do what you like. Its been a bit of a weird time for the whole world and the constant news updates were getting suffocating. I had to take a social media embargo for a while. A daily death count is terrifying at the best of times but when many of my family are key workers or high risk, it got to be a trigger for me. I would just break down and cry all day cause my mental health just tanked. Not a good way to be when you have to keep your kid calm too.

Here in Scotland we seem to have slightly different rules and guidelines so those are the ones we follow. Rather than listen to the contradictions from Downing Street, I would wait to see what Holyrood said. B was a massive help when all this first started. He was keeping up to date with everything due to work so he could give me the information I needed and keep the horrible stuff to his self. It might seem like I was burring my head in the sand, but being drip fed details helped me process it better and focus on what I could control in all this, which was what was happening in my home. 

B, by the way, is my partner, my fella, my protector and quite possibly the love of my life. We have been together for almost 7 months now and he is absolutely amazing.
