My 3 good things:

1. Spending the morning with my little 3 year old daughter. I take her to the local library on a Tuesday morning for a story and song session. She is one of the oldest kids there, but she really loves going and I love taking her. It's great to see her confidence improving too - a month ago she wouldn't have wanted to go up the women running the group to ask for a puppet or instrument, not without pulling me up with her. Yesterday she wanted a puppet and just went up of her own accord to ask for it. I was so proud of her. I can't wait for the summer holidays to start so I get to spend 3 days a week with both my girls.

2. A 5+ hour lunch with my new partner (sounds weird saying that!). A lovely afternoon of lunch, talking, walking down the river in the pouring rain, then spending about 3 hours simply talking in the car. And a first kiss....there's nothing like a first kiss. Unfortunately he lives about 45 minutes away and he works shifts, so it will be next Tuesday before we can see each other again in person. Thank goodness for the internet and texting (I don't do talking on the phone - one of the things I would like to improve but I'm not beating myself up over it).

3. A fun rehearsal for a show in September. Bad Girls the Musical. Although I didn't know anyone in the group before April, we've become to be good friends. Most of them still don't know anything about my condition, but I'm very relaxed around everyone now and know that they would all be very supportive. I also managed to go along to the pub afterwards for a drink (non-alcoholic - I was driving) which is a big step for me. Only 4 of us there, but it was nice to spend some time with some of the cast I haven't chatted to much.

Now I'm going to knuckle down for the rest of the afternoon and try to write some more of my book.
