After days being inside I walked around the lake again. #ADHD #Leavingthehouse

Yesterday I spend almost the whole time working, but...
I also made a big pot of pumpkin soup and scrubed the bathtub. And finished my work so today I was free to walk.

I think eating healthier finally pays off. More energy to cook myself and clean some (very dirty) things around the house.

Dutch skies #ADHD #digitalart

Today was another day inside.

But sitting behind my window I see the famous Dutch skies go by. I will (have to) go out tomorrow. On my bike, to the gym.

Watch out wind, I'll be feeling you on my skin tomorrow.

A lonely biker at dusk #ADHD #digitalart

Instead of going out I sit by my window and make photos of the outside world. I will get out again. But not today. Maybe tomorrow...

A lonely biker with very good lighting on his bike rides at the other side of the road. I stop my shutter time before he has passed out of frame. It looks like he has vanished.

A room with a view #ADHD #Leavingthehouse

Today I left the house after staying in for 5 days or so. It still is not a habit.
I had to leave the house because of an appointment with my cardiologist.
We made a new appointment for next year. Everything is ok. To celebrate we ordered fast food (haven't had a burger in a while).

Because for a second day in a row I didn't leave the house.

Day 4: Back home #ADHD #Leavingthehouse

Today we went back to the city leaving our lovely cabin. No hike today, just a very short walk. Because of the rain I left my camera in the cabin.

But I made this photo on one of our walks. She came to the fence and posed for the camera. She's a natural.

I still have to get off the house every day. Let's see if I can keep it up a bit longer this time.

Day 3: Dreaming in the rain #ADHD #Leavingthehouse #Dreaming

Today we only walked a little bit. It's raining cats and dogs.

But even in de rain the pond is like a fairy tale pond.
There's an amusement park, The Efteling, here in the Netherlands where fairy tales come to life. One of the most popular attractions is that of the Indian Waterlilies (written by Queen Fabiola of Belgium).

I wonder if these waterlilies are star children, captured by an ugly witch with an amazing voice. Doomed forever to dance in the moonlight at midnight and be a beautiful lily by day.

Day 20 This time for real #ADHD #Leavingthehouse

I almost didn't go out today.

It was a bad day. Forgot the glasiers. Ate to much chocolate.

But just in time remembered my appointment with my personal trainer. So even with my headache and though I was tired I got on my bike and went to the gym. And made an other appointment for friday.

I fell of the healthy food wagon. But tomorrow is another day.

Day 20 It's raining... #ADHD #Leavingthehouse

Today I rode my bike. I hate riding my bike, but I need to get my confidence back.

More than a year ago I lost half my sight while on my bike. I was crossing the street. I saw flashes and lights, but not the street. That was the first time in a very long time I had experienced this. But not the last time. Migraine without the headaches. Very scary.

But then a colleague told me to stop drinking the very strong espresso I drank like water. And that helped. So I haven't had this half sight for half a year. And now I'm slowly getting my confidence back.
