I actually went to the movies today all on my own for the very first time in my life!!!  I was going to back out and not go but then thought no i am going; and i enjoyed it so much that i will make this a monthly thing.

but i don't do much else on my own; it's hard when you work 3 days and then have appts on my days off and try to keep up with the housework as well as rest.  Oh i do enjoy watering my garden, i actually do this every morning just after breakfast.  i have noticed its a pattern now that once i finish breakfast, i go outside with the dog. it's just nice to smell the fresh air and see the garden and flowers.

I have an appt soon with my psych, i know he was a bit worried about my stressors at the moment so i am sure he will keep an eye on how i am going.

that's why when i go into hospital for a few weeks, it feels like a respite break from everything in life and it sort of restarts me again to go home and cope again. (does that make sense)
