This has led to some 18+ hours asleep days

I spent several days sleeping as long and as often as I needed, to balance out severe spoon debt + normal-people sick.

I most definitely overdid it

I did a credible Studio Ghibli impression while visiting a friend - the bathroom is super clean!

Diana is well and I have enough spoons for the weekend (probably)

Successfully took my trauma-kitty to the vet while conserving as many spoons as possible.

My kitchen is a direct barometer of my spoon level

I cleaned the kitchen, because sometimes house work is self-care.

I needed my first treatment after a 6 month break

When my IVIG treatment kicked my ass more than expected, I didn't push myself; staying in bed with a cat and ebooks on my tablet was a far better choice.

4 pieces of Ikea furniture takes awhile to assemble

I helped with furniture assembly until my major muscle groups were sore to make sure it all got finished.

Ikea is wonderful stuff

I bought some new, more accessible furniture, including a bed frame and a desk - yay Ikea!

My reward is going to sleep very early

I went to a particularly unpleasant doctor appointment, even though I was tired and really didn't want to.

Wonky heart rate and blood pressure

I took steps to mitigate my dysautonomia symptoms BEFORE they reached 'time to pass out' levels.

We've only lived here for over 2 years

We cleaned out a closet and finally unpacked the last boxes - and I chose to let go of mementos of old hurts.

Sitting on the floor, watching the cats eat, and boom

I made it through a doctor, blood work, a haircut, grocery shopping, & feeding the cats before falling asleep while sitting on the floor.
