Matt Trott and the Good Kind of Happy?

It has been a weird week.

I learned last Friday that a friend was leaving work and spent much of this week gearing up for various parties and lunches for him and another friend who is having a baby. But now the week is over. Kind of a letdown.

I used up a lot of adrenaline this week. I went to things where I couldn't really hear. I used a manual chair on one of the hottest days so far this year. I tried to get in a bathroom without an automatic door (I made it in finally, but on my departure I had to go out then reopen the door for Claren). I ate far too much bacon.

I am tired, but I am glad I did all of those things. Well, I could have lived without all the bacon.

I imagine people who read this blog will maybe sense a touch or two of bitterness and anger at being dependent. That hasn't changed.

But perhaps what I will take away from this week is that the kindness and assistance of friends and family overwhelm the dependence and the bitterness it causes.
