Hi Sad68,
I am glad to hear that things are improving for you. As you experienced waking up early, is very positive. You have enough time to do thing in no harry. I realized from my own experiences, that when we stay in bed most of the day, we do not drink water, not eating, and it all makes us weak. Here in London it is rainy most of the time, but in a good day I do not really let it effect me, going out and do what I have to do. My day today was not bad actually. even though I could not do what I planned to do, for I was not feeling very energetic today, but all together, It was a quiet day with no pressure. That is good to have a dog. It makes you go out even if it is only for his sake, but at the same time you enjoy the walk as well. Take care Sad68. One day at a time we will sort things out.
