Double Dating

Last night Pete and I went out on a double date with my friend and her boyfriend. I was rushing around to get ready and fit my physio in etc after working at the shop as we were meeting them at 6.30. However we got there in time even though I pointed out a parking space to Pete and he drove straight past it and ignored me! He thought he saw another space but it was taken by a micra hiding to try trick you, you know the type! So then we had to drive all around again because of the stupid one way system, luckily it was still empty. We went to the comedy club and then for a curry afterwards.

I felt such an pain because I couldn't walk all the way to the curry place even though it's only like a 10 minute walk, we walked to the car (about a 5 minute walk if that) and by the time we got there I was coughing loads and was breathless and my friend said the place was only down the road but it was about another 5 minute walk and I said I couldn't do it. It's embarrassing coughing so much infront of everyone out around town on a Saturday night and I was tipsy, and excessive coughing and too much alcohol is not a good combination, the result could be being sick in public, not great! So my friend and her boyfriend walked there and Pete drove us two there and then we spent ages trying to get a parking space close by. Like I said, I feel a pain for causing such a fuss. It was bad enough Pete offered to drive (so couldn't drink) so we didn't have to get the train or anything, I just couldn't face walking from the train station and waiting for one home etc. But then to make him do this, I just feel pathetic. He's so sweet offering to drive though so I could drink, he said it was my friend we were out with so I should be able to drink. I can't wait until the weather gets warmer and then hopefully I won't have all these problems! It's OK when I'm walking Alfie as I can get wrapped up, wear suitable footwear, walk at my own pace and it's warmer through the day. But on a night out I'm wearing heels, it's colder, I have a coat on but a dress on so my my legs get cold and people always walk fast!! Also the ground isn't very flat around town so you end up walking uphill sometimes.

I have outpatients tomorrow, I think my lung function will be better. I still don't feel 100% but the tobi nebulisers definitely seem to have helped with my cough, it's not as bad as it was but still there. I've been doing well at the gym, I managed 16 minutes on the treadmill which is the most I've ever done and also 26 lengths at the swimming pool which is the most I've ever done! So wish me luck for tomorrow!!
