Hope they don't send the cops round to check if I'm obeying the cleaning directive. 
Heck, this covid-19 thing nigh-on killed me, aleady, in an indirect fashion.
Honestly I haven't changed much about the way I'm cleaning my own place, except washing my hands when I've come in from something like a grocery run. Sanitizer everywhere seems needless when the conditions and people haven't changed. Makes more sense in public spaces.
Also, Walkie!!!! Good to see you.
Thanks, you too
weeeell, TBH. i'm stretching the rules a tad. i'm now employing a neighbour to help with cooking and laundry and she's started coming in and out again, since the virus cleared. i think she counts as a carer (therefore allowed) effectively, but wouldn't like to have to argue that point in court. given that her duties don't include 'personal care".
Facts are though
- since i moved into tiny flat without room for washing machine, and communal laundrry situated 40 yards from my door (and in an unheated outbui;ding FFS). can'tg get the laundry done without help, at least not without totally crippling myself for next several days
not to mention annoying fellow residents by falling asleep before laundry is done and inadvertently leaving it in the dryer overnight.
- since cutting out last traces of corn from diet.. (oh!and i'm now sensitive to soya too, now, did i say?) cooking a meal for myself is. on average, just as draining a task as doing the laundry. Cant eat frozen veg, ready meals (no matter how ""free from") store-bought bread (all GF varieties contain corn). stock cubes, marmite, sauces, etc, etc. As a result, can't get anything vaguely approaching a healthy diet without help.
[li] as reult of above help, not only am i eating much better, but now have the energy left over to be able to wash myself a lot more often than once per week (my average since moving, i'm afraid to admit)[/li][/list]
.Curiously, washing oneself seems to be a much bigger deal. and considerably more vital than any of this other stuff according to social services etc. and it's the thing i'm last willing to ask for help[ with ofc, especially given that I clearly
could do it easily enough. if not so worn out.
Anyways since neighbour is coming in anyway, we figure she might as well stay and watch the ten;çlock news with me (she doesn;t have a TV licence) etc. That's not so annoying as you might think, cos she's autistic too, therefore can understand (via self-reference) the need for certain bounderies. though apt to forget sometimes. ofc. but. anyway, that's stretching my point even further isn't it?
Actually. it's c;ose to ideal, the way things worked out for both of us. As self-employed she's now lost almost all her income, and the "generous"" new government package doesn't even begin to plug the actual and immediate hole. So my own small, but ongoing contribution fell into place just when money was desperately needed. Win-win.
But there you are. I've been atoning for my small trangressions by much handwashing. like you would
