@covidstinks2023 what a wonderful way to describe spoons and fatigue!! And, I love your use of the term EASE! Rushing into things makes it all worse. Now, if our spouses and families could only understand!

@becsbuddy I struggle with my spoon allotment everyday. Some days the drawer is fuller than other days. Today is the day for my weekly steroid dose, so I expect to have a few more spoons available. Typically, that means I jump on things to get done, and hopefully don't overdo things.
Yep, if only family and spouses would understand!

@covidstinks2023 My word of the year is "pause", to remind myself to pause before using up all those spoons! Each week looking ahead to appointments and commitments, hoping to "bank" when I can. Gently reminding myself to pause when overwhelmed and be gentle on myself.

Let's take care of ourselves, if only for today,
Ginger
