Sunrise Mill

Part of me feels like I'm lucky that it's taken nearly a year of a Covid life to feel like groundhog day. Most of the last year I've managed to embrace the things I can do but occasionally I have weeks where it feels much harder to deal with. This is one of them. The kids are working hard, school are brilliant in providing a full timetable of live lessons and ringing every week to check up on them but I think we all feel like we're stuck on a treadmill and want to get off!

This time round it's evident that restrictions will be retained much longer and we have no idea when we will be allowed to travel so we can see family.

It's all put in to perspective at work though; listening to the wife of an intubated patient telling him how much she loves him and that she can't wait for him to be back home; seeing the grieving relatives of a recently deceased patient who had come to see him and were then going home to self isolate for 10 days.

I can wait a bit longer... those hugs will be worth it.
