Doing better

Today I not only dealth with the health clinic's cranky voice mail system (which, strangely, worked as it was supposed to today), I also left the house! Yes, it was finally time to get out into the world again. Though on reflection, doing the full 2.5 mile grocery store walk was probably a bit much. It was great to walk in the cool autumn weather, gazing round at the trees turning colors, staring up at the clouds, hearing laughter and someone I don't recognize calling me by name (this last may be evidence that my brain function still isn't up to par).

There are so many things I should have done today that I'm deeply self-annoyed for not doing. But I did what I could do, so I guess know I shouldn't beat myself up too much. I mean, I got home feeling dizzy, heard a message on the answering machine from one of my brothers... at least I think it was one of my brothers, but the voice sounded a little unfamiliar and I didn't catch the whole message though I don't think there was a problem with the answering machine. I should call the brother I think it was, but I'm not sure I can find the phone number in this state.

Gah. It seems I could still use some help I'm not going to get any time soon.

But I got outside. And I got stuff done. And there's hope, however slight it may be.
