They've just said over 65s can start booking, so there's some way to go yet. It'll be over 60s after that, and then my group, the over 55s. By that time I'll be 59!
I hope your folks will get theirs soon. In a weird way, although I still miss mum all the time, I'm glad she's not here for this.
I totally understand that. It's the worry at how vulnerable they are that would eat away at you all the time and make you reluctant to venture out for any reason at all lest you bring it home with you. I felt strange just yesterday going down the street at lunch to Bed Bath and Table, though I only went to buy Mum the matching European pillow covers to match the duvet set she bought from them online (for some reason they wouldn't sell them online!). Even though it was only yesterday it already feels ages ago because I worked from home today.
Yeah. It's worrying enough for me alone since I'm not in the best of health, plus mum had carers coming daily to help her wash and dress, which I couldn't manage, so that would have been potential infection coming in every day.
So weird that the duvet set could be bought online but not the pillowcases!
That's how I feel every time I go out, it always feels far longer ago than it really was. Even the same evening I'm like, did I really go out just this morning?
