On reflection

It's been a lovely few days, and so different from how I usually live. What I've enjoyed most is seeing some of those few people who really matter to me. I've found all the talking and all the energy around me somewhat difficult but not unmanageable. I think I've coped much better than I used to. It's been a great help for me to be able to use the front room as a bolt hole. Having access to the computer has been a boon. I've been able to express my thoughts as they happen, rather than bottling it all up. I am glad I came, and gladdest of all to have been able to attend my friends' wedding. For me that was one of the highlights of many a year.
