A first!

Today, for the first time ever, I went up into the roof of my house on my own. No-one to hold my hand, pass me things or hold the ladder. No-one to catch me. It had to be done (with a touch of deep-breathing). The house-tidying continues unabated and there were things that had to go up there and others that had to come down. I think the charity shops are going to tire of me this week. I reckon I can get most of the stuff there if I make a journey every day. Does anyone know if they take electrical things? There's an iron to go. No point in saving it as a spare, I don't use mine enough to wear it out!

I've been starting to think about work and have signed-up to various e-mail lists and checked vacancies etc. Not that I want to return straight away, I feel as if I still need some 'me' time. I really want to try for a permanent role but who knows how likely that is in the current climate. There was one possible and I've asked for more information.

I did a run, not as far as required by the schedule but I got out and it felt a bit easier than Thursday for a longer distance. Disappointing when I got home to find I'd done exactly the same pace (to the second) and average heart rate! The max hr was down which must be good. Progress of sorts.

Had a conversation with a good friend this morning. It helped me realise that I've turned a corner over the last few days. Some dawning realisations that you've all been shouting at me for ages but hey, I got there in the end.

Onwards and upwards!!!
