I don& #39;t know if anyone else can relate to this, but I& #39;m finding
that not going anywhere much means I& #39;ve freed up the brainpower and energy I would& #39;ve burnt up on getting myself places. And I really appreciate it, and I don& #39;t look forward to a time when I need to do it again.
I have no learning difficulties, no disabilities, no kids to wrangle, and yet I never realised how much cognitive resource I was burning up on remembering I had to be in a certain place, getting ready, getting there. Wildly disproportionate to the actual thing I was going for.
I had a weekly Welsh class. The bit where we learned Welsh was easy. The bit where I had to get there on time, with the right folder and a pen, was EXHAUSTING. I had three different calendars, scribbled paper notes and a phone alarm to stop me forgetting it completely every week.
I& #39;d love to wrap up this thread by saying that I& #39;m using the Welsh centre& #39;s online resources and the brainpower freed up by not having to remember my travel mug is being spent on new grammar and vocab. Actually? I kind of forgot all about learning Welsh and I& #39;ve done nothing.
