Well, my anxiety hasn't been too bad recently. The keyboard course is working well, although I do find it rather difficult to understand at times because music study doesn't come naturally to somebody like me. The WeightWatchers session wasn't as bad as expected, but I moved it to a Thursday morning session instead of a Wednesday early evening slot, which suited me much better. The diet is really difficult to adhere to though as it's so darn low in calories. Oh dear!
I saw a friend whom I used to work with the other day for a drink. He now lives on the south coast, but I'd forgotten just how arrogant he was. When I asked him whether I was deemed intelligent enough for him he shrugged and said "You're a lovely vibrant woman and great fun ..."
Damned by faint praise or what?

Post #84 - Anxiety in Aspies
Quite a few new things begin this week - firstly it's a 'Beginners' Keyboard' class tonight, which is taking place at my local Adult Education Centre. Now, as much as I like music, I'm no flipping good at it and reading music is an anathema to me. I'll give it a go though.
On Wednesday I have to attend WeightWatchers. Being the comedy fan I am, I keep on imagining a class led by a Margery Dawes lookalike, but I doubt that it'll be half that amusing. If I can lose some of my lard though, I'd be a happy porker.
Thursday's joy is the belated return of choir, after last week's cancellation due to the snowy weather. As I've already written, I love singing, but the whole communal and social aspect of attending group activities is very difficult for me.
Finally(!) I was literally shaking earlier when dealing with a difficult situation on eBay. I won't got into any further details, but it wasn't very nice and I've since deleted both the app and the related email account from my smartphone so that I don't have to receive the messages.

Post #84: January
I don't really do a great deal these days, mind you, who does in January? I am getting more and more insular though - actually mixing with people is getting increasingly difficult. I did get out and about a little on Wednesday and attended the local NAS Coffee Morning. The place smelt strongly of floor cleaner/disinfectant and I can always hear other people's loud conversations, however hard I try not to. In the afternoon I moseyed over to another local disability charity's AGM and it was good to hear about all of the good work that they're carrying out in the community.
