It's day 76 in the Lockdown House. I'm actually starting to wonder if the Universe is actually trying to make me go insane. It's like a biblical plague of things going wrong here.
Everyone is taking it in turns to go loony. The man (in between going to work and risking his and our lives out there in GermWorld) is bored and grumpy and has pretty much become an alcoholic just for something to do. The teen's ex girlfriend has gone full on psycho and has spent 76 days straight messing with his head until he ended up crying for 2 hours (he hasn't cried in 2 years until now) and I was forced to intervene. Then just when he was feeling a bit better he got banned for allegedly cheating in his all time favourite game which was the only thing he had left to keep him occupied. Worse still, he hasn't actually cheated, but they won't reverse the ban despite us emailing them repeatedly. Because apparently 'these things are permanent and can't be changed'.
I've put on about 50 stone in comfort eating. One of the dogs had a stroke early on in the lockdown and is now blind. I keep randomly crying and having meltdowns over stupid things. We've even had an invasion of about 8 billion flies. Both the teen and I are autistic and holy moly is our executive dysfunction off the scale right now, and don't even ask about the stimming.... I didn't even stim much before this but I'm picking them up left right and centre - and as for the teen! One of his stims is finger picking and thanks to the stress right now, he barely has any finger skin left. I've had to buy him a fidget cube as a distraction and hope it helps.
Today's Universe Challenge? The builders are in next door and the entire house is shaking.
Honestly I feel like I'm in the middle of a game of Jumanji here.
