In my calendar of post plans, I had noted down to write an Easter holiday bucket list. I love bucket lists as they are a great way to focus on things to achieve within a limited time period.
However, the vertigo is still restricting me a lot (will it ever go?!) so trying to plan ahead is a bit pointless.
Instead I have decided to write about the things I normally take for granted and I bet you don’t appreciate them either!
-
Popping out of the house. Nothing mega but being able to nip out to the bin, walk the 2 minutes to my parents’ house, doing the school run or a dash to the shops. These have all been almost impossible for the last 4 weeks. I want to bask in the sunshine or feel the rain on my face.
-
Supermarket shopping. I put this off so much because I dread having to take the children and the whole thing taking a lot longer than any of us want! But I love mooching around the shops, finding great deals and being tempted by new things.
-
Playground. Anya always wants to go the playground and I put her off a lot of the time because it is tricky trying to keep an eye on 3 of them at once. I want to take the children out on their bikes and scooters. I want to play with the drone. I want to have picnics
-
Driving. I am not the biggest fan of driving (well actually, it is the parking at the other end that I worry about most!) but I didn’t realise how much I rely on my car and what freedom it gives me.
-
Cooking and baking. Our poor family has relied on the freezer for quick meals that don’t require me to be stood in the kitchen for very long 🙁
-
Feeling well. This sounds like a silly thing but we can only really enjoy feeling well after we have been ill and we soon forget how good it feels! I promise myself during each illness that I will relish the feeling of wellness but I forget so quickly and focus on how tired or busy I am instead. Not this time!
