@SprinkL3 thank you for thinking about me, I’m doing fine and I’m out of isolation now, I did the full 10 days, testing negative now. Day 9 I felt awful and extremely tired, it really is a horrible virus but I think my 2 vaccines stopped me getting any respiratory symptoms. My husband and son have stayed negative and well throughout thankfully.

I was back in work this morning, which felt daunting but my colleagues are good, and straightaway my supervisor put me on lighter duties. I love the buzz of retail on Christmas Eve so it was nice to be among it, I only did 4 hours though which was just right as I was tiring quickly.

I managed to buy some gifts for my parents which was a big relief- I am making a hamper for them, despite not really buying for anything else.

I have been reading they are now confident Onicron is leading to less hospital admissions which is great news. Plus also the vaccinations are making a big difference across all variants.

@BreakForTheLight yes it’s the threat of these things that feels worse! Plus also lockdowns work more effectively when they are done earlier!
