“Evelyn 1 – 0 COVID” –Evelyn’s Diaries

It has been a tough week this week in our household. Plague has entered our home!

Both my Mammy and I, have been struck down with COVID. Weirdly, my Daddy didn’t catch it. I tried my best to give it to him, by giving him lots of kisses and cuddles and wiping my snotty nose on him. But I had no joy. I was just thinking, why should we have to suffer and he not?

Like the little trooper that I am, I powered through. I had a bad cough, a runny nose and I wasn’t very hungry, but I did not complain once. My mammy on the other hand, it’s all she talked about…or should I say, moaned about! “My body aches!”, “I can’t taste my food!” or “I’M POORLY!”. Honestly Mammy, here is me just getting on with daily jobs, painting my pictures, playing tractors and taking Peppa Pig on holidays, and you are the one acting like a baby!

Of course my Daddy didn’t say any of this to her, but I will speak my mind! Daddy likes to stay out the way of Mammy when she is poorly, as he gets in trouble a lot more.

This isn’t the first time I have had COVID. I first had COVID when I was just 6 months old! It was my first illness I ever had. It isn’t very nice to have, it makes me cough a lot, so it is hard to get to sleep. However, this time when I had it, it wasn’t too bad and I still got lots of sleeps.

As my Mammy was poorly, she couldn’t go to work. This meant I got to spend three days with just me and my Mammy, which was really nice. Especially because Daddy was at work and not causing chaos with his “Daddy Dinosaur” appearing all the time.

Once we both started to feel better, my Mammy helped me learn a new skill. Now, I know what you are thinking, “Evelyn, you already know so many skills, how do you have room to learn more?” Well I do. Pilot, tractor driver, interior designer, deep sea swimmer and now…cake baking extraordinaire.

My Mammy quickly showed me the basics, but pretty much straight away, I was the one teaching my Mammy. I think I am a natural when it comes to baking. Take a look at the pictures. I did all the icing design myself. Pretty impressive right?

I am honestly starting to lose count of all the skills I have. Hopefully I learn how to go to the toilet by myself soon though, as it is pretty awkward being this skilled and talented, but still needing Mammy or Daddy to change my nappy.
