I'm so tired

Today was a productive day. I lost my right lens and broke my headphones recently but I've ordered a cheap pair from ebay. I started to get headaches from eye strain and have been scared that I would end up losing the other lens so I called my former optometrist and his receptionist said I could come in today.

Walking around it was a ghost town with just a few milling around. Half the people have masks on. At first I thought the bus station was closed and I was stranded but it's open just discouraging people not to use it. All the online grocery slots are full though so I'll have to do mini shops. The cashier tells people to wait behind the line so everyone is congregating together. Hmm.. What's the point?

After being cooped up indoors, it was lovely to get some fresh air. Beautiful sunshine but cold winds. I thought I was done with Morefields but I was requested to get my measurements from them and send it. Ugh. I doubt I'll get it. They are such a pain to deal with but I promised to try and I'm getting sassy red glasses and my spare lens probably next month.

After finishing with the supermarket I felt so drained. I only went to two places and it wiped me out. I wish I had energy and a break from the pains to do more. I wanted to nap when I got home but it was just before 5pm and it was too late. I knew that the tiredness would evaporate when it was bedtime.

I literally just shed a tear because after checking constantly with Tesco and Iceland I was finally able to book a slot. I've been so worried about how I would manage to carry the bags and sustain myself and even thought about doing a big shop with a cab but I would still be breaking my hands with the strain of it all. Drivers don't help like that used to.

I just loaded up on the heavy stuff like drinks and what I was low on. Pity there was no kitchen roll or tissues but I'll manage. This morning I got my cheap headphones and for £12.59 they seem pretty swanky. LED, multiple connections, long battery life and comfortable to boot. Just waiting for my new memory sd card now as the old one is full and I need to add de-stressing music to my playlist.

Be safe and well. Just try to be sensible and not panic too much.
