I've been ill since the start of September with postviral fatigue syndrome brought on by swine flu. In all that time I've been unable to do much of anything, particularly energetic things. I've gone along to local dances (when someone else was driving) just to socialise, but even that wore me out.

Tonight was a milestone. Not only did I manage to drive to a dance (my wife drove us home), but I actually had enough energy to dance twice for the first time in nearly four months. To say I'm happy would be an understatement! I'll probably pay for it in the morning, but it was so worth it.
