Things Going Well
I continue to be amazed by the change in my energy since my healing shift. For the last year and more I'd come home from work absolutely drained, finding it almost impossible to take care of basic domestic stuff like cooking dinner, doing laundry, or helping Wolfling keep tabs on her homework.
Today at work I took a long lunch with a co-worker and so stayed 30 minutes late to make up the time. I rode the bus home, then stopped by Rite-Aid to buy new hangers. I got home about an hour later than usual. Despite that, I still managed to spend 45 minutes cooking a real dinner rather than doing drive-through or settling for a quesadilla on my grill.
It's now 8pm and I'm tired, but it's honest fatigue due to having been up too late last night. I'm not depressed or feeling overwhelmed. I didn't get everything done today that I had hoped to (my latest bead project still needs to be re-strung), but the combination of the shopping errand and cooking is more than I've been able to accomplish in ages.
I have hope of actually having a satisfying life again. . . .
