Have you ever heard someone say that they were low on spoons? I don't mean in the kind of way that you notice the children have thrown them away rather than washing them. I don't know history of where the idea started but just in case you don't know... SPOONS are a way that chronically ill people measure their energy. It a budget system in a way. When I wake up in the morning, I can tell with how I feel , how much of my to do list I can realistically aim to accomplish. If i wake up with 5 spoons... and it takes one to rinse off and two to wash my hair... and I know ill be pushing it into needing a recovery day the next day to do much more... YEA personally... I'm low on spoons today... my energy budget is nil... my battery needs charging...etc... SPOONS. Send spoons please... I need to wash my hair.
and like always... I have a lot to do.
