Cabin fever
Oct. 10th, 2003 07:06 pmWent out to get a burger last night, more for the 'out' than for the 'burger', and I'm sitting here now 24 hours later wanting to do something similar again.
I'm getting intensely bored of sitting here in the house on my own... chatting to people online can only supply so much of the interaction with people that I seem to want. This has taken me somewhat by surprise as my most likely complaint about my life before the accident probably would have been the fact that I had to deal with other people sometimes. I appear to be more of a herd/pack animal than I would have guessed.
Mind you, it might not be people that I'm missing so much as activity... the thought of just going up the shopping centre and dossing around window-shopping feels like it would calm me down a lot.
I'm starting to see why people get back on bikes or into cars before their doctor says it's okay... the loss of freedom I'm suffering from is only going to get more and more annoying as my health gets better and I'm still stuck here (don't worry, I'm not planning on breaking doctor's orders). I did see something intriguing when I was out last night though - one of those simulator pod things, running a motorbike race program. I think it might be interesting to have a go in that and see how I feel.
