I had my second driving lesson today. First time using the pedals and steering, which was quite exciting! Although I did OK, I can see I'm going to need a fair amount of practice. My overall body coordination has never been that great, but that just means I have to work a bit harder to learn skills which depend on it.
Skills such as driving surely fall into the realm of Extraverted Sensing - my inferior function. This takes a great deal of my energy to use consciously - I was absolutely exhausted after the lesson. Not to mention the instructor is a massive Extravert, who kept chatting for 30 minutes after the lesson was over. I've come to like him a lot, however - I'm guessing he's an EFP of some type - probably ENFP as he's already shown the tell-tale signs of an Idealist. He's very interested in my NLP/Hypnosis skills - maybe when the lessons are over I'll offer to do some work with him in return. My own Intuition is telling me that he wants to do this.
On the family front, my partner's mother has made a massive recovery during her stay in hospital. I did suspect that what she needed most was a good rest and three square meals a day. Luckily, the food in the hospital was of a very high quality indeed - I thought so at the time, and she has confirmed how much she enjoyed the meals there.
In retrospect, I realise I was sending her a great deal of my own energies whilst visiting, which is why I've felt so drained this week. Other people have told me I am good at energy-type healing - I was skeptical for a long time, but eventually had to concede there might be something to what they were saying. I don't mind feeling so drained if it aided her recovery - it was a good investment!
The PTB (Powers That Be) have decided to let her return to her own home today, which is a massive relief. We're heading back to Hamilton for the weekend to help her settle back in and to return Sammy the poodle to her. I'll miss the little thing (but not his little "presents" on the carpet!). I'm sure the cats will be glad to see the back of him, though.
We're looking into paying for some full-time care for her for a few weeks, as she has still not fully recovered from her falls. This is quite expensive, but she may agree to help out from her savings, and it is surely worth it if it keeps her out of hospital.
