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!

  • Sorry to learn of your loss. Losing a much loved pet is always hard. Well done for going out for a hot chocolate and I hope you have many more. I took part in the 100 mile event last month and rode 1537 miles. Yes, rather a lot but I am a keen cyclist and need to ride out on the moors to escape people!

    Hello LucyLandRover. Welcome back! Slight smile Thank you. I've been enjoying my hot chocolates, I'll be going again this weekend and I am looking forward to it already. Wow that's a lot of cycling! Well done, that's an amazing achievement. You must have felt exhausted by the end of it! Cycling on the moors must be so peaceful.
    Since losing my license I've cycled a bit more where possible but I get tired if I do it too long.

    Hello A=BCD, thank you. I hope you enjoy your cafe trip. I do enjoy them but like you find them difficult at times due to noise. That is kind of you to say that but I do a lot of cycling and have a good fitness level. It does take a lot of calories to fuel it around 4000 per day plus. I hope you enjoy your cycling too.
