cosmolinguistI had a lovely day, spent most of it in Heaton Park seeing another friend, lying on the grass, eating ice cream in the sunshine, regular park stuff.
But maybe it's a sign of what a good weekend I had that I'm really dreading going to work again tomorrow. I haven't spent a Sunday afternoon/evening feeling like that in a while. I've gotta say, my evening of feeling pretty mental anyway for big reasons, then skyping with my parents, then doing my first-ever covid test (as a routine thing, I'm not worried) has left me feeling awfully fragile and shitty all around.
I'm lucky that I don't find the swab for covid testing particularly uncomfortable, but I do find the tremendous inaccessibility of the covid lateral-flow-testing materials really stressful and demoralizing. I am lucky to have good help available to me, I think I'd struggle with the process on my own. I think the RNIB has done some work on the accessibility fail in the testing kits, but maybe I'll see if there's anything I can contribute to that.

Date: 2021-06-18 04:36 pm (UTC)I just read the how-to on the NHS and I'm totally confused.
I'm glad you've got support (and still blown away by that phrasing "if you need support" instead of "if you have special needs")
