Could I BE more positive?

Now we're in the grip of the Corona Virus and all bets are off. Susanna said that she and her daughter had decided it's all like watching a really bad B movie, before it's been reviewed. A very good analogy. And I've seen the sequel..

Reasons to be gloomy, part 2:

1. Another operation coming up on 26th March so we're semi-self-isolating
2. Followed by Radioactive Iodine Therapy
3. Isolation for 3-4 days in hospital - feeling sick (memo to self: take ginger beer in)
4. Food left outside my door etc.
5. Following that mini-break - a diet excluding salt/iodine
6. Followed by total lack of energy for weeks
7. Finally a dose of thyroxine will apparently bring me back to life
8. Did I mention the virus?
9. Joe's holiday to Ghana cancelled (actually not such a bad thing as it would have been very worrying for him had he had to remain there and run out of his pills etc.
10. Enforced isolation for 4 months is on the cards.
11. Supposing we run out of loo rolls (luckily we have many, many read books....)
12. We won't be able to go to Marou, as planned, at the end of May.
13. I had to cancel our Canadian tenant who was going to stay here.
14. The tenants for Marou (19 weeks) will probably cancel due to virus.

OK. Enough of all that garbage. I'm trying harder than ever to remain positive, besides nobody likes a misery guts. I have periods of being really, really low but sometimes I'm OK. Like now. It's been a lovely sunny day and I had a 3 hour walk to Primrose Hill, which looked gorgeous. Met Polly which was good and she'd kindly bought me a loaf of bread (oh yes, we're already into panic buying. Except we've failed in that as the shelves are already empty. I gave Joe a list with about 12 things on and he could only get 2: butter and bin bags. Luckily we have a Majestic nearby that delivers so booze still available.)

Dear Scooter is being a wonderful companion. So good I'm going to stop this and take her for a walk. Round the streets as it's evening. Her hair is SO long now but of course I may not take her to the groomers.

Later. I found myself crossing the road all the time to avoid people. It would be so unfair were I to go down with this effing virus as I'm being pretty good: wearing gloves when out, washing hands all the time etc.

Reasons to be cheerful Part 3:
1. I'm trying to convince myself we will be able to go to Marou towards the end of summer. After they've carved me up, messed up my entire metabolism and then given me meds to repair the damage they've done.
2. Better that Joe didn't go to Ghana. He can help us: shopping etc.
3. We're in London. The epicentre and the place the virus will likely peak - presumably that means the first to come off rationing and isolation?
4. Interesting times.
