I will NOT miss
Updates from the CEOs of every company I’ve ever shopped with
Seeing Scummo’s smug face on my screens every five minutes
Pointless health and wellness videos
Over-medicated Zoom calls
Online conspiracy theories from whackos who I thought were sane people
Nauseating we’re-all-in-this-together messages from celebrities
Remote learning with teenage beast
I WILL MISS
Sleeping in
Cuddles with my cat every day
Reading multiple books
Afternoon naps
Carbs
Clean air
Day time TV
Day drinking
Bin isolation Facebook posts
Tracky dacks every day even though I wear pyjamas to work
Laughing with goth child over mad cat vids on TikTok
Bye rona, don’t come back…

Avoid expert guidance from wealthy influencers who live in massive houses when you’re stuck in a small flat
Turn off the TV when the corona virus celebrity advice special comes on
Avoid listening to politicians who talk endlessly about the economy. We’re a community
Borrow a dog or a cat or a rabbit and stroke their fur to lower blood pressure
Wear your pyjamas all day if it helps
Send a postcard to a nursing home wishing the locked away oldies and nursing staff well
Check on your neighbours
Burn your bra
Enjoy your sleep in
Shop local
Cherish your time off the treadmill
Dream a little dream
