Earlier this morning I managed to walk over the hill to the beach. It is only a 10 minute return walk but with my Fibromyalgia/CFS being bad it made me a little dizzy. Still, it was great to see the ocean again. I also managed to clean my bathroom. More needs doing around my flat but that's it for today exercise wise. I have to pace myself or I will get sicker. Anxiety down and sleeping better. Yey! I have managed to reduce clonazepam and seroquel doses too. Hopefully things are on the up for me health wise.
My home state (Australia) has shut its borders to all other states, and internationally as well. Our state is fairing well so far in comparison to other states and countries. Even so we are in a type of lockdown. As we have a major port in the Southern Hemisphere cruise ships have been our main problem. Why people still chose to go on a cruise a month ago is beyond me but now they are filling our hospitals. It is a horrible situation for everyone. We can't turn back ships in distress. We must help. The problem is we are an isolated state (in usual times) with limited hospital space. Thankfully there is minimal community transmission so far so the hospitals are coping.
Yesterday the leader of our state got a huge case of the giggles during a press conference. He was asked if a person was still allowed to go for a jog and eat a kebab. I think he pictured the person doing both at the same time and couldn't help but burst into laughter before saying it is not against the law as long as social distancing is in place. Anyway, it was funny to watch and great to see the Premier laugh for a change. Poor guy must be so stressed. He also wrote an official order allowing the Easter Bunny to cross our border. lol. I think he is doing a great job.
Anyway, I digress. Weird times to live in indeed.
