Slow start

OK the first few days have been a mixed, partial success. When eating myself, or choosing from a menuu, it's been easy to be vego but there's been a couple of  times when I just didn't need to eat the meat but took the easy option. Just because it's offered doesn't mean I need to accept, there is no obligation.

So, now with Andy gone, I can focus on becoming used to eating vegetarian, within the rule set, and normalise that myself then feel comfortable to easily, casually, decline offered tastes of his food. He won't be upset or offended, he might not understand but that does not present a barrier to me. No one is forcing me to eat meat.

A couple of Leunig pictures, always amusing or uplifting or thought-provoking.

And a reminder to get outside as much as possible. 

The MS has really impacted my energy levels, the fatigue is keeping me on the sofa this week doing pretty much nothing. Thank God for crochet ! Such a simple but beautiful activity, although I have to monitor the time to make sure I don't wreck my right hand. However this is time to think through what I still can do;

I can walk 5km with a couple of rests

I can swim 20 lengths

I can kayak to Point Walter and back

I can cook, crochet, read and see people

I can drive my car

I can work 4 days a week

To do all this, I need to rest and take down time.
