Although I had modest hopes for the remainder of yesterday once I posted the day’s confession, I didn’t manage to clean the rabbit room, write my book or get to bed early. But I did manage to go on my virtual coffee date with a colleague-slash-friend and do the dishes, both of which were major success for me. I haven’t washed dishes in about a month, leaving yet another house-chore to my full-time employed wife which meant that things were starting to fall through the cracks. One person can’t work a full-time job, care for five animals plus a depressed wife and do 100% of the housework. It just wasn’t feasible.
But now that I have more time on my hands, being a Full Time Depressed Person, I was able to take on some dishes and regain some of my laundry duties, both of which I tended to yesterday.
Even more impressive, I managed to not only attend but also wildly enjoy my virtual coffee date. My pal and I laughed throughout and I’m so pleased to have been able to properly engage with a social activity. Plus, dare I say, I think I even gave some solid advice! Of course, I replayed the conversation over and over in my head when I should have been sleeping just to make sure that I had been socially acceptable from all angles… but baby steps! I did a social! Even if it did leave me too wired to fall asleep.
