Last week Neil was sick and didn't feel up to doing anything.

He just wanted to stay in bed and watch TV.

Now that he is better he wants to get out and do things again.

I'm very tired tonight. I'm not really up to having visitors.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll feel better and we can invite some friends over, but not tonight.
