Hi Ashley,
I took a friend out, and she needed a lot of assistance. Without being able to get in touch during her conference, I made back up plans. It was hard to plan, since that old adage about adding time to your plans plagued me, as I had to do last minute things. My car needed some vacuuming, and I cleaned the windows and cockpit.
I had to cook something ahead of time too, but was able to get things done, with leftovers for me the next day & mom. It was emotionally tough, since I usually spend time alone, and I was standing a lot, so I was whipped the next day. Being out, I saw so many people on a summer-like day, and felt the pulse of the city and bustle, and wish I could reproduce it, in some way.
I'll have to think of the highlights. One was participating in the church service, and I felt relaxed there, since I'd assisted as a young adult for several years.
I guess I don't know what I'm missing, but I don't know how to replace whatever I experienced. Maybe I can't control it?
I also tried to assert myself, and keep up my routine, since it mattered, as much as playing host. So home chores didn't all fall my the wayside.
