What have you achieved recently??

What have you achieved lately? List whatever you like, big or small…

I haven’t achieved much sadly. I was on a bit of a downer these last few months as Snowflake, my cat, died suddenly. As she was literally my only friend losing her has hit harder than I imagined it would.

Anyway, one thing I’ve achieved is that every Saturday I’ve been going in to town and having a hot chocolate in the coffee shop. This is huge for me. I always feel anxious and part of me says ‘Are you nuts!?’ but I make myself do it and generally I feel OK when in there and enjoy it.
The coffee shop has been doing an Autistic Morning every Saturday, like our local Morrisons where they dim the lights and don’t play any music so autistic customers don’t get overwhelmed. If they hadn’t done this I wouldn’t have stopped for a hot chocolate the first time.

Definitely a big achievement for me!

  • I am so sad for you about your cat. My old flatmate's cat, Loki, was such a sweet boy and he unfortunately got hit by a train on the line behind our house. It's such a loss to lose a loved pet.

    Congratulations on your achievement of regularly going into town for hot chocolate. There can be something nice in sitting in a coffee shop in winter with a hot drink and people watching through the window.

    My achievements are:

    I acted in a local Halloween show, 43 half-hour performances in total.

    I organised and hosted my birthday gathering at my flat on Sunday (only for five people) and we all had a nice time sitting around the firepit.
