Mamma Mia with Grace
Last night, I took Grace to see Mamma Mia at the Nieuwe Luxor Theatre in Rotterdam. Oddly, all the songs were in Dutch. This is something I would never normally choose to do, but it was for Grace, and I’m so glad I could do this for her.
On the way home, I encountered some extremely thoughtless people. We had to wait for the third metro before anyone made space for Grace to board with her wheelchair. It was heartwarming to see how considerate and kind those who did let us on were.
Burnt Out on Self-Help Material
I’m burnt out on self-help material, whether it’s ebooks or audiobooks. As a result, I’ve cancelled my Headway and Everand subscriptions. What I need now is action, not continuous reading.
Out on the Town with Jane
Last night, I went out in town with Jane. We enjoyed some good food and drink, but it was too much alcohol, and I’m tempted to take another Allen Carr course. This morning, I felt rough again, making it to my hospital appointment ten minutes late and with a dead mobile battery. I don’t know how Jane manages it.
Other Stuff and Thoughts
My apartment needs cleaning—it’s becoming susceptible to dust. I haven’t slept well again and found myself up throughout the night going to the toilet. Is something wrong with me, or is it just that I’m drinking alcohol again?
I’ve noticed my stomach has definitely improved with exercise. I’m so impressed; it’s getting tighter and tighter, but there’s still fat on the sides.
Sometimes I feel so frustrated. I just want some normality in my life again—a normal relationship where someone looks out for me. I don’t think the kids came to see Grace at Christmas.
