Week 80: Very shit endurance test

March 14, 2020

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Nearly fainted on the train because I didn’t eat breakfast and nobody gave me a seat. Until I abruptly started sitting on the floor of the carriage and then someone thought maybe the pregnant woman could get a seat - as a little treat. Of course this is my fault for not asking for a seat and instead seeing how long I could last like a very shit endurance test.
Nat and I took a day trip to Rye which was excellent except for the weird COVID-19 background noise. We went to the Merchant and Mills shop, looked around some other shops and ate plenty of things.
Was worried about my dad but then remembered he has access to a chemistry lab so he can just make his own hand sanitiser.
Not massively thrilled about having to go to hospitals for routine pregnancy things right now. Having a baby last time was basically fine (there was a 6 day long inpatient induction, 5 days post partum of me wandering around the maternity ward in my pjs going a bit weird while people worried E had an infection which it turned out she didn’t even have) but it all felt a bit like everything worked just about. This time though - with the massive additional pressure on the doctors and nurses. I dunno. More to worry about.
It was my birthday this week, which I forgot was happening because of all the other things that were happening. That would be fine except I share a birthday with my mum, brother, and Russell. So forgetting their birthdays is a bit more awkward.
Spent my 33rd birthday contingency planning for a pandemic. Did manage to get some cake though so not all bad.
Everyone in Product and Tech is working from home from now until… well I think it’s going to be months not weeks. “What a time to be alive etc”.
I would really like to be able to get drunk right now.
