I’m in more pain today than yesterday. I think I overdid it.  One step forward, 2 steps back, then 3 steps forward.  Could also be wishful thinking, wishing I was better.  Took mom to buy shoes today, she doesn’t know this place and needed a navigator.  Stayed in the car because I don’t like going out in public with these drains but had to go sit in the mall cause it was too hot out.   I just kept my head down and didn’t look at anyone.  Tomorrow I’m going for coffee with a couple of co-workers.  Even with all my self-consciousness I’m looking forward to it.  I feel like I’ve been so removed from my life and this will bring  me back a bit.
