Ran out of spoons
35Twenty minutes ago, I described to my wife why I need things to be in their place in the house. I only have so much energy in the day to get things done. Often the amount of things to get done is around my daily spoon limit. If I have to go looking for things, I spend a spoon. And in the case that I need to push myself, like taking care of the sick boy in addition to finish grooming the dog, I have to borrow spoons from tomorrow. Except the cost is not one to one. And so I have to be careful about where I spend my spoons and when I push myself.
Sometimes the hit is worth it though. And it pays in some currency that's not spoons.
11Thank you.

I think you need a big hug, a nice cup of tea and some time to sleep. Tomorrow is indeed going to be different than today. Talking about feelings sucks but it helps. Take care
10Not sure if you're talking to me or the fox but thank you.
9Yes.

I have a few conditions that affect my spoon usage, like autism/ADHD and mild chronic fatigue. But I’m also pregnant, which means every day I put N+1 spoons into the “avoid nausea” drawer, and there’s a steadily increasing multiplier on any activity that means I have to walk places. Lately being vertical too long costs a bit o spoon.
All this to say that yesterday my husband sent me this comic and I immediately replied “that’s me”.
(A good percentage of his messages to me consist of Foxes in Love comics, and they are ALWAYS incredibly accurate)

"I don't even wanna be around anymore..."
"You... Want to kill yourself? Because of the mask?"
"...Yeah..."
"Ok. Fine. We won't do the bit."
"Then what's the show?"
"God damn it!"
