Migraine headache had me awake most of the night. My body is tired. The sky a bright clear blue but the cold hits the back of your throat when I breathe in. I am grumpy, irritated easily. Especially when an expert on Sky News explained the Omicron variant of covid as no more dangerous than the common cold. Then why is the country's leader asking us to stay home to stop spread of infection? When will this nightmare end? It's all about money. Has me thinking how my ex used money to control me. How he believed he was better than me as he earned more. How other parents in the area of school snub me in their parent cliques. I know I'm just as worthy. But they don't think so. It's a lonely place being on a low income.
