Life update
Nov. 1st, 2020 01:18 pmI hadn't realised how much I'd missed social media and blogging until this weekend. I got an email notification that someone had subscribed to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kinkyandpoly and found myself logging in to Dreamwidth for the first time in far too long. I then updated and read our friends page, and talked to people I haven't spoken to all which which was absolutely lovely!
Then I managed to set up a![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)

I will easily admit that I had completely forgotten all about this place which is a shame because blogging is so good for my mental health, having an outlet that isn't Jack or Lucy. And God knows we've all needed any/everything that's good for us this year.
So hello Dreamwidth friends, hope you're all as well as can be in the current state of things.
We almost lost Jack back in May, he caught COVID-19 and was in hospital for just under 3 weeks, some of the worst weeks in my life not being able to be with him. He wasn't ventilated, although it was touch and go, but he was very poorly with pneumonia and breathing issues. He's home, he's mostly ok, he lost a lot of weight and he's still finding he gets short of breath and dealing with fatigue but he's alive and he's ok.
It's bizarre, because Lucy and I also had positive test results but we all had completely different symptoms. Lucy was asymptomatic. I just felt like I had a pretty bad flu but it only lasted 4 or 5 days. I'm looking forward to when we know much more about this virus and the disease it causes to understand this. I'm also being amazed at how fast science is learning about it, because science generally doesn't happen this fast!
Partially as a result of that, I ended up quitting my job at the university at the end of the last school year. I do miss it, and they're doing some amazing CMB research at the moment that I desperately want to be part of but 2020 has made me realise how old Jack is, made me wake up to his (to all of our) mortality. He's 16 years older than me, he's not far off 70 and I don't want to waste or miss any more time with him or Lucy. Jack, of course, keeps telling me he's fine, he's not planning on dying any time soon and that I should to play with the 'big space toys', especially as they're advertising for research positions. But for now, I'm semi-(early)retired and doing distance tutoring.
