Little things

Sometimes little everyday things can really get the better of you. I found myself getting ridiculously wound up over a few little domestic things today. It's not the task itself that's the problem - it's that it used to be something I didn't have to think about so now it's a reminder of being on my own. Also, when you can't do something that you know should be fairly simple the feeling of helplessness is awful.

Anyway, after much harumphing and standing on both chairs and tables I have successfully changed the light bulbs in my living room. So I no longer feel so helpless but I do think I will need to invest in a stepladder - I had to drag the table across the room to reach one of the light fittings and this is not going to work with other rooms.
