The Phaaaaaaantom of the opera is here, inside my house

[nineveh_uk]

PSA: The ALW musicals streaming offer for this weekend is Phantom of the Opera, available from 6:30pm BST for 24 hours in the UK only, 48 elsewhere (rights issues, apparently...). It is here. It's the Albert Hall stage production, not the film, so hopefully the leads will be able to sing. I am shattered after returning to work this week. Yesterday I found I was rather enjoying myself, and did 4 1/2 hours, which was too much, and then today I started with an hour long meeting with someone, followed by a second meeting for 30 mins, and then I had to get a draft agenda out and now my head is exploding. Thank goodness it is the weekend! I have a date with the sofa and a jigsaw. And an Ocado delivery.

That's the other side of it--having restrictions heaped upon us makes one want to do more! I have heard that this virus can be absolutely wicked about making you think you're all better one day, and then the next day you're flat again. I'm terrible about that, because I hate feeling helpless with things out of my control. Knowing this logically has so far done little to help me get over that. :)

We're doing all right here, all things considered. Trying to keep doing all the proscribed things correctly. Sometimes I think it will prove impossible not to catch it at some level, or that we already had/have it. Our stay-at-home got extended through May and I hope it gets extended beyond that.

Both my mom and dad are in separate domiciles and both have rather vague ideas about COVID-19, so I have low-level worries about them. My mom is better--she will mask up, at least, but she will keep going to the stores just because they set aside blocks of time for seniors. She doesn't need anything! She's just a more social person. My dad keeps insisting this is just another flu and the government is forcing him to stay inside. Sigh.

It's really nice to check in here after so long and chat with you. :) I'm not sure yet if I'll truly venture back to LJ or forward to dreamwidth, but it feels nice just thinking about it.

I hope you continue to mend, and quickly!
