My parents are being wonderful and driving me to university and appointments to take some of the physical and mental load off so I can keep studying. The Fibromyalgia has been pretty bad. I can grit it through the pain and other awful symptoms, but can't drive when really dizzy. I feel like I am crawling through a haze this week. Pushing on in hope that this flare-up will pass in time for me to continue with both my units at university. So far I am keeping up with the workload, but it is increasing fast now I am in second week of semester. I am loving my units. One should be pretty easy to get good marks in. The other is journalism, which will be much more difficult and time consuming. I will have to do many interviews to write articles. I have a few ideas of topics. I think there are three news articles, weekly quizzes on the news, and a feature article to do in the next 12 weeks. It should be fun if my health plays ball.

I am so thankful for my parents. The whole covid-19 virus thing has me worried for them as they both have health issues. I will do all I can to care for them if things get bad. So far the panic in my city is much more dangerous than the virus. People are already cleaning out shelves in shops. We are heading into our flu season down here in Australia so it's bad timing. I am hoping it will blow over but I can't help but wonder what I will do if things get bad. Our health system is already overwhelmed by standard issues. I have no idea how they play to care for the extra load of patients. My main worry is getting mentally ill and not being able to get hospitalised if I am unsafe. Sigh, I should try and relax. Studying journalism prevents me from avoiding the news.

Wishing you all good health, and sending hugs to those who are hurting.
