It was suggested I do an intro post:
I’m a disabled middle-aged nonbinary queer liberal, happily married to my best friend since ‘95, & a parent of 4 adults.
I’m a gamer, LOVE learning, Episcopalian, & open to questions/convo.
DMs are open w/a no creep/crypto/maga policy
I ❤️ the block feature!

Totally unrelated to yesterday, I’m sure, but a herd of elephants trampled me in my sleep last night, my bedroom floor has developed tides, & my bed has become part of the teacup ride.
As insidious as #PEM & #me/cfs are, I’ve gotta give ‘em points for creativity

Today was supposed to be a major rest day for me, so naturally it was completely wild.
Highlights include:
-The cops
-Son’s dog had a frightening allergic reaction
-Fallout from the cops
-Much emotional management
-Conversation about the cops
-Extremely drunk & very funny 25yr old

Spouse had to drive to Dallas today (4.5hrs each way), he’s on his way home & is driving through lots of cute little towns. We have a dash cam that records every time the horn is honked. Since I’m not well enough to go on drives he’s honking a lot so he can share videos of 🎄lights when he gets home.

I just found out I’m home alone. I’d assumed Youngest was in the back of the house. It turns out he got offered hours at work & was gone before I was up.
Everything I need is w/in reach, & Middle is only 10mins away so I’m fine.
I used to love having an empty house, now it feels weirdly vulnerable.

Oh man. I love my mother-in-law, but over 30yrs of knowing her has taught me that when she starts talking about sending us gifts it’s time to brace for impact…& the texts just started.
She’s big on home shopping channels & Pinterest, we’ve gotten some truly wild stuff over the years!

I got to talk to Chosen Son tonight & he seemed really good. I’m so grateful his biodad has been supportive about him getting help & cool about texting w/us.
I’m wrecked now, so it’s time to snuggle w/Spouse, eat leftover pizza, & binge the Puffy documentary.

Day 3 of not being able to get more than 5 interrupted hours of sleep.
Having an illness that has a core symptom of feeling like I’m going to nod off any second & but also comes with severe insomnia is some through the looking glass nonsense, & not in the fun whimsical way.

Me as Spouse is climbing into bed: I’m having one of those rare moments when I wish you could feel what having me/cfs & all of rest of this is like for 2 minutes.
Spouse, voice up an octave with worry: Are you mad at me?
And that’s how tonight I learned he gets it way better than I thought he did!

I have hit maximum capacity for other people’s easily solvable problems.
I’m usually good about being a safe person to vent to, but when I’m hearing the same problems & the same list of reasons why they’re impossible to fix AND being asked what to do about it AGAIN - that shit as an expiration date.

Today I’ve been reminded of some of the little things I miss:
-“I’ll just jump in the shower real quick”
-Choosing to wear something slightly uncomfortable ‘cause it looks great
-Long phone/text conversations
-Taking my car to the shop ‘cause I’m the car guy
Long covid is awful, vax & mask!

I wonder if this is how estranged divorced parents feel. Chosen son needs extra support right now, his biodad is the person he’s closest to on that side. So, I decided to reach out to him, with our son’s permission, so we can more efficiently be a good support network for him.

Eldest is flying back home today. I want to be hanging out, helping them pack, being a part of the usual rapid fire conversation - instead I’m in bed being grateful I was able to swallow pumpkin bread.
The WTF is intense with me/cfs, especially in a crash.
