Crabby????? | Pad Patter 02.22.2021

I pretty much shut myself away. I am very covid crabby too and is probably just as well I have been living alone since last May. My husband calls everyday and sometimes I don't want to talk to him either. And sometimes I pretend that I am on a trip but when I look around and it is Winnipeg - not that there is anything wrong with Winnipeg, the people here are wonderful. It's just not your typical holiday destination. I think I might start drugging myself with essential oils..... The good news is that I won't have to pay for quarantine when I get back to Australia because I had a return ticket even though my flight was cancelled and, they have approved the AstraZeneca in Canada so I might get to go home vaccinated. Woohoo!! I am not particularly worried about contracting Covid but the vaccination for me, represents freedom.
 
Ugh, yes. I've been so crabby lately. I'm very introverted and need my time alone, but I haven't had any in almost a year. All 5 of us are doing work and school from home. I'm tired of DH always having the tv on and screaming at sports teams in the evenings, when I'm fed up with all the daily noise and constant conversation and just want quiet. I also find that my inconsistent work schedule is making things a lot worse. Some weeks I have very little work and have plenty of time for housework, cooking, etc. Other weeks I'm too busy with work to devote much time to the rest of it, but everyone expects me to do it anyway. So while DH gets to hide away in the basement working uninterrupted, I constantly stop to do for everyone else and end up stressed. (The financial reality of his much larger salary means that he needs that focused work time; we can do without my income but not his. That said, it's still so frustrating!)
