I've got a list of a few things I'm going to try doing on my own, I feel somewhat positive about it. I'm not ready to actually get to them on my own yet though, I need to practise leaving the house by myself and unfortunately I've had a reaccurring chest infection(christened the mystery lurgy) that makes me feel tired and ill all the time since December last year, it's unfortunate because my anxiety uses it as a reason to do nothing. Score one for the Hermit. My therapist challenged me on this last week and I realised I do become waaaaaay too cautious over anything to do with my lungs, I know why; I used to have very bad asthma all the way through my childhood, I was in and out of hosipital as a toddler and I've ingrained it into myself that wheezing = very bad, stop doing whatever you're doing and rest. It's something I'm going to work on.

Anyway, my doctor has been investigating it to figure out why it keeps coming back and why I have a small amount of something in my lungs all the time. Blood tests came back as everything is fine except I'm fighting off an infection... we already knew that but thanks. So he sent me for a chest x-ray at the hospital, the results should be back tomorrow.

Meanwhile I'm focusing on staying in the positive mood and will make myself work on my secret art progect for my sister's 30th birthday card. Her birthday is May 11th and I've not even started it yet, I don't want to put it off and off until it's the day before and far too late to do a decent job.
