I had gone into town to meet one of my service users, but he was a man on a mission and couldn’t seem to keep still for 5 seconds “Have you been to the bank?” I asked him. He ignored me and walked to the shop, where he bought only two items. I tried to convince him to get his normal food shop, but he wasn’t having any of it. There were police everywhere when we walked out of the shop (All female officers) They had to check up on everyone during lockdown. Neil threw himself into the river. “For fuck sake.” I muttered to myself, as I jumped into the freezing cold water after him. There was a family in there, having a leisurely swim. I just wanted to get out of the filfty river as quickly as possible. “Where’s the neatest food shop?” I asked one of the family members. “About 2 miles from here!” She called across to me. I sighed deeply. But before I could pull Neil out, I noticed he had sank right down under the murky water. “Fuck!” I yelled. “He’s drowning. Help!” I tried to pull him up to the surface but he was very heavy. The lady in the river swam over to help and eventually we pulled him out of the water. Unfazed, he jumped up to his feet and started walking home. “Wait for me, Neil.” I yelled. He had now joined this different family. There were two twin girls (who on closer inspection, looked nothing like each other) As we walked along, I noticed that I had two completely odd shoes on. I showed Neil, but he didn’t find it funny. The twin girls had a good old belly laugh about it. As we continued to walk along, I came across my daughter, lying on the floor like a sloth. She looked a mess. “Can you give me a lift to Wellington later?” She asked. I told her no, as I will have been working all day and I have odd shoes on. “But there’s a party and everyone is going!” She pleaded. “I haven’t been out of the house in months!” I felt guilt sweeping over me but I stuck to my guns and said no. Later that day, I was walking through town at night with a group of people (which was forbidden due to lockdown) and bumped into all these female police officers. One of the guys I was with, dragged me into this random pub (to make it look like we weren’t part of the group). We stole some drinks from a passing table (a cloudy lemonade and something else) The Guy was now a woman and she was pouring the drinks onto the floor to fake drinking them(?!) The person she stole them from saw her do this and started storming over to the table. “Shit! Let’s go!” she said, grabbing my hand and running out of the door. Next scene; I was at this gathering with a bunch of friends. Liz was handing out shots from a bottle cap. I remember I was driving, so I decided to just have the one. But MY GOD! It was strong. I became, all of a sudden, very drunk and kept toppling over on the picnic rug. Everyone was laughing at how much of a lightweight I was. Tom was sat next to me. He was abnormally tanned (he must have been on holiday?!) He was telling me how he was now married to a man and that he is the happiest he ever felt. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. He’d never struck me as being remotely gay. Next scene; I had written all my dreams down on a piece of paper and was reading them out to my friends. They were completely random (much like my real dreams) and had a bunch of celebrities in them. Next scene; I was back at Neil house and I was sorting out his fridge (which looked like a washing machine?!) I put food into this little hatch and it would suck it down this tube and either throw it into a bin (if it was out of date) or keep it. Unfortunately, it kept throwing everything into the bin. “For fuck sake.” I muttered.
