How do you plan your day and conserve energy? Are you a Spoonie?

Well it’s not even 12 noon and I think I ran out of spoons! I took my dog to the vet and took a long walk while I waited and then concentrating on everything the vet said. The vet loves to talk, but I have a hard time listening. Oh well, now to take a break. Do you do anything special when you have to concentrate?

@becsbuddy just a thought that popped into my head about your vet - and other “wordy” instructors/people: would they think it is an invasion of privacy if you recorded what they said, so you could listen to the recording later when you can take in (or even are able to jot down) what was said, a little at a time? 🤷🏼♀️

@becsbuddy Ask them to repeat, or write it down. Or ask to go over it again when you are feeling more energy. I recently had a similar experience as you did, and after about 15 minutes I was getting more and more stressed and anxious. I insisted the gentleman stop throwing information at me; I needed to leave before I went off the rails!
This morning I had to clean up some broken glass in the street around the corner from us. When i was done, my husband asked for assistance moving some firewood. If I would have known, I probably would have cut short that sweeping! An apple with a bit of pepper jack cheese perked me up.
