Reminded of the fact that I tend to have a lower daily a lot of energy (spoons in chronic illness land, if you will). Today has consisted of falling asleep doing various tasks & napping. Grateful that my baseline of functioning better than it has been, but man oh man, do I long for more “spoons.”

Normally on Mondays I’m sleeping all day because of a once-a-week medication. For some inexplicable reason I was able to go to Costco & the grocery store before the side effects kicked in.

A small victory for most, but a big win for someone like me.

Now, a desperately needed nap.

Today is a grumpily cut out fabric, complain about a missed phone call that came 2.5 hrs than scheduled, listen to “No Such Thing as a Fish” & stress eat Dill Pickles kind of day.

New GP is lovely. I’m honestly not used to meeting Drs with such a calming & reassuring bedside manner.

Meeting a new GP today. Hoping for empathy, a listening ear and no gaslighting. It’s amazing how rare that can be to find.

I always worry I’m oversharing and saying inside thoughts out loud…I guess this an exercise in how much y’all are willing to read.

Downloading this in my parents’ basement feels like a weird time loop, reminding me when I used to go on twitter all the time and talk to my cooler, older boyfriend.

Now the cooler, older boyfriend and I are living in said house & watch movies in said basement.
