Group 7-day waking average?

So, I had a house special 5.2 this morning! After being up part of last night planning what to do with my lectures/workshops for the rest of the semester (couldn't sleep anyway) then getting up at just before 10am this morning 🙂

congratulations on your HS!
 
Morning, good to catch up on all your news. 5.3 for me yesterday and 5.0 today so that HS just out of reach, but happy to be in the 5s.
Keep safe all x
 
7.4 this morning. Husband 70 in two weeks and has immune thrombocytopenia, blood platelet condition, but fit as a flea and works. Am wondering if he is going to have to self isolate for months on end, such a concern. I work and we have the grandchildren during the week to help out. Very confusing at the moment.
Have a good Sunday all x
 
Good morning 5.8 with a 3.5 an hour later after Basal injection so a bit more adjustment me thinks.🙂 A couple of local girls/ladies have set up a free service to help people who are struggling to do their shopping and other errands,😎 no doubt they will be very busy especially when Matt Hancock announces the date of forced self isolation.

Congratulations on HS @zoombapup.🙂

You made I laf @Grannylorraine.:D

Well its raining here so if you haven't already got it you will,:( so stay safe and enjoy your day, take care.🙂
 
6.9 this morning, but realised at tea time I had forgotten to my morning meds. Been out for a run today, only managed 7.5 miles, but my half marathon has been postponed, quite rightly I might add.

Went to Sainsbury's for breakfast after as usual, ashamed to say I panic parked as the car park was so much busier than usual. Managed to get free loo roll and hand wash, but them manager did come in to tell me I couldn't spend the whole day in their toilets. Had a lovely breakfast while me and my friend discussed alternatives to loo paper while eating the breakfast.

Then someone coughed, you know, just a normal throat clear little cough, and I felt my anxiety levels rise, we were just leaving anyway, but I suddenly questioned my judgement of going into Sainsbury cafe, I am now sitting here questioning did I do the right thing in leaving the house at all. I don't want to become that person that lets panic and fear take over my life.
 
Can’t believe I’m first here today. Hope everyone is ok. I’ve been awake since 4.30 worrying about this bloody Covid 19. When you’re lying in the dark everything seems much worse so I’ve got up! My worry is, if I’m worried it must be bad! I’m usually such a pragmatic/ glass half full sort of person. Anyways, back to business, 6.3 today. Going to eldest daughter’s today, she’s a farmer and it’s lambing time so we’re going to help out, not the lambing/ farming bit. A bit of housework/ decorating/ childcare but I’m going to broach the subject of perhaps she needs to look for alternative childcare or rearranging her working hours ( she has a job as well as being a farmer). Her mother in law is 76 and her father in law is almost 80 and in a care home and both Mr Eggy and I are certainly going to be officially classed as vulnerable by the government very soon. It’s an awful thought that I may not be able to see my children or grandchildren for a while but what’s the alternative? Also need to sort my mother in law out. If she persists in her view that it doesn’t matter if she gets it and carries on the way she is ie going out everyday, we will be unable to visit or help her also. Sorry for long post but all this has been whirring about in my mind for the last hour or so and it’s good to get it down in black and white. Have as good a day as you’re able and stay safe.

I am the same @eggy, normally level headed and boringly sensible but this has really played on my mind. My husband will also be in that category and he will go insane staying indoors, it’s such a worry for everyone. We also have our grandchildren during the week. We can only do what we can to try and ensure we and our families stay safe. Take care x
 
Morning all, 6.6 this morning...

Just reading post from @eggyg I am saddened of the challenges people face. I am also reminded that 'we cannot add a minuite to our lives by worrying' (not my words). On a lighter note, "Also need to sort my mother in law out" made me smile as that is a brave statement for anyone to make!

May we find peace this morning as we journey through life...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all 7.4 this morning.
Sorry your worrying @eggyg and @SueEK I usually don’t worry but I also am, especially in my line of work. There’s a lot of worried children and parents. Difficult to explain to them the reasons why and why not educational establishments are open. I get why as the knock on effect of closing them is unimaginable.
Hope everyone has an ok day. Interesting times I feel.

well good morning All, Don't know what i did over night but reading gone up from 5.4 last night to 7.5 this morning
 
6.5 today.
I’m guessing that’ll be the pizza and hot cross buns yesterday.
 
I got my regular 5.7 this morning. After spending the weekend stressing about the lack of serious response to covid and how it will affect my work etc. So I reckon my blood pressure has been sky-high for the weekend 🙂

She is very active on Twitter too.
 
Morning all, a 9.1 for me today.
I'm back in the UK, but only just!!! Lanzarote was on lock down from yesterday. We wasn't allowed to leave our hotel during the day, unless going to the airport. They're trying to get as many tourists off the island. I got to attempt to go shopping today!!!

Well my morning 6.3 reduced to a 3.7 after my morning walk with the dogs. From midnight however there will be no more walks for at least 15 days - probably more - as we are all banned from leaving the house except to go to the doctor or pharmacy or to buy bread!

A friend of mine in Pamplona has been told she can take her dogs out for a poo/pee but that’s it. Take care @Michael12421 - I hope it’s over quickly. 🙂

Morning all. 🙂6.0 here.😛
