Fidget Bum

In England when a kid is fidgety they get called a 'fidget bum'.  That is me today.  I woke up this morning and for the first time in months felt like a real person.  My head was clear.  I was well rested.  I had some energy and I had a major case of cabin fever.  I have been stuck in my house for the last month only leaving for doctor appointments.  Even my brain is fidgety.  I can't seem to stay on any topic for more than a few seconds at a time.  So here are some things I managed to do today which for a well person might seem mundane but for me are a major accomplishment:

• I paced the kitchen floor while waiting for the water to boil for my morning tea.
• I went to the library, found four books and checked them out all by myself.
• Hubby and I went out on a dinner date.
• I walked two blocks to the restaurant without hanging on to hubby.
• I climbed in and out of his very high truck without assistance.
• I read a book.
• I drove to a small specialty store with my Mum so we could buy chocolate imported from England.
• I went to the airport to see my Mum off.
• I stood up for the entire duration of my afternoon shower.
• Watched TV while writing my blog at the same time.

Yeah me!
