Are we in the midsts of a zombie apocalypse? The news seems to be making it out to be one. They seem to be making this thing really really scary.

I know it’s pretty serious but is it as bad as people are making out? It’s almost as if the world is coming to an end or something.

Yes I have anxiety, but because of all the focus on this it’s makes me feel worse. I’m just trying to remember the numbers involved. From what I can tell you have more chance of catching and dying from the flu or being hit by a bus than you have of getting this coronavirus. Covid19, we may as well say it. “Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself” – JK Rowling.

The focus on washing your hands is good and I honestly feel it won’t just reduce the risk of catching Covid19 but it should help reduce the risk of getting other things too.

I am trying to not be scared of it but all the focus being on it makes it hard to do. I’m washing my hands a lot but I’ve been doing that since the Lemtrada treatment anyway. I have my salt lamps on, an air filter/ioniser blowing awayand an essential oil diffuser going which should help keep the air virus and bacteria free.

If you’re interested the oils I’m using are:

Eucalyptus, cinnamon, lemongrass, tea tree, peppermint, pine, sandalwood and some menthol liquid.

All of which are antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal to some degree some do all and some do some. But they smell nice and help with congestion and should also stop any other lurgy that’s floating about.

I do know that if it was a zombie apocalypse I’d be safe. Having a messed up scarred brain and spine has to have some benefits.

That’s enough about that and let’s move on to something completely different…… well the other stuff I’ve been up to.

No crochet still focused on knitting my cardigan/jacket thing. Still on the back at the moment and in the process of decreasing for the raglan. I’ve been making quite a few pom-poms for an MS craft evening some grey, a few white and some yellow. I’ve got to decide on a toy or 2 to make for the jubilee centre summer do.

I’ve got some other MS stuff I have to do like a new leaflet, a newsletter and a couple of other bits.

Other craft stuff I’ve been up to is some kumihimo, a bit of marbling and sewing up a pouch for ribbons.

I’ve also become addicted to Thornton’s special toffee and treacle toffee. It’s nice and that’s all I’m saying about it.

Mum is getting better, slowly and surely but she’s getting there. She now has a salt lamp and an essential oil diffuser in her room so that should help her. I keep sending her healing and ask you to do the same. I spent time last week actually giving her reiki. It’s been a while since I’ve done some hands on healing and it was great.i enjoyed it and so did she. I am sending a lot of reiki out all over the world at the moment to help people affected by the coronavirus, the hospital and medical staff and the Scientists. Big love and support goes out to them all.

So make sure you wash your hands properly to keep the zombies away.

Love and light.
