Yay!
12 years ago
I had a fantastic day out today, even with the heat.
(If your thinking, "Thats not really something to celebrate- I go outside every day!", I shall remind you I'm a housebound agoraphobic so even something as insignificant as that is a biiiig, terrifiying and exciting thing for me. ^v^;)
This morning I walked to my grandparents' house with my brother, with no safety coat on(Tho' I admit I brought it along, in my shopping bag just incase I had a turn along the way, and needed something to "shield" myself). I very well may have sunburn(I made sure to get myself some factor 50 when I went shopping this afternoon, for future usage, haha) and may not be able to walk tomorrow(So much uphill, urgh), but it felt so satisfying making it there.
Then we all went to Barry and it was petty busy, so naturally I was very nervous leaving the car behind. I was intending to get myself a new top and a pair of sensible shoes as I hate my current jingle-jangle-stompy-boots. I'm quite picky on the cut and not having overly embellished shoes, so didn't end up finding anything I liked, but it was definately nice to get out and stretch my legs for a bit.
And thennn, I went to a pub for lunch- my first time in 7 years!
I treated myself to a naughty bowl of calamari with garlic mushrooms on the side in celebration, and it was absolutely delicious!
So yes.
I didn't publicly humiliate myself, didn't make too much of a fuss or snap at anybody, I made my grandparents really happy and I feel pretty proud and spirited too!
A good day indeed! 8})
