In which I update this thing.

I am sort of hesitating to make this post in case it bursts my bubble. Or in case people suddenly start expecting things from me that I can't give yet.

But believe it or not... things appear to be looking up.

I'm finally getting a grip on my room and my stuff. Things are actually where I can find and use them and it's slightly amazing.

I'm continuing my small but important social life, and wondering about a little bit more of that lovely in-person interaction stuff.

I have an interview tomorrow morning with some people called Reed In Partnership who are all about helping people to get back into work after a period on sickness benefit. So you never know, I might have a job again in the near future. (Not counting on it, but we'll see.)

I have actually showered the last five mornings without fail. It's always embarrassing to admit this (and I have new readers now who don't know me), but that's a big old step for me. It's really helping me to feel like a human being again.

I'm trying to do a little journaling and processing now and then, and that's helping.

I'm writing again.

I'm knitting again.

Things are slightly, slightly getting done. And slightly happening.

I think I might be nearly ready to try having a life again.

(15ish months since I last went to work at a job. And counting. Let's see about getting these feet under me again, hey?)
