Yesterday was the first time in 2 weeks that I had been out into the Real World. I was only out for a maximum of 10 minutes, and I was driven 2 minutes down the road to my destination (Boots, to collect a prescription), but that 10 minutes felt good. Good in that I felt able to make that short trip. I couldn’t have managed any longer, and had to rest when I got back, but it was good.
This wasn’t the first achievement of the day though, that was managing to get up at 10:20am, instead of the midday I had been getting up at while ill with flu. I was a little later in getting up today (11am), but that’s still ok. It’s still an overall small improvement. I know it will take time to get back to where I was before the flu, but I will get there eventually.
I am going to go and recline in my armchair now, with my feet up, snuggle blanket and rest.
