Yesterday

Couple of days ago I was brought down to Earth with a crash after going through our finances. Nothing desperately bad, it was just a wake up call to realise how tight things really are for us. But, after several days of feeling normal, it was enough of a bump to plunge me back into black despair. Ended up spending most of yesterday in bed lacking the energy to function on any level.

Then in the evening, I threw a few clothes on and went walking in the rain. Somehow it did the trick. Why getting soaked to my skin (it was raining VERY heavily) should lift my mood the way it did, I really don't know. I've often found walking a help when I'm down. Today I've walked over 6 miles without any real problems. I do seem to be getting some level of fitness back and that can only be a good thing.

Back

Not much been happening lately. Been up and down a bit. Just got back from a few days away in Wales. I love the place and to be able to share it with someone else is great. That'll do for now.

North

Heading North for a couple of days. Let's hope the weather stays fine. First time I've been away really since the depression and I'm concerned about how well I'll cope if I take a turn for the worse. Taking the sleeping tabs just in case.
