Where the heck did my extra spoons wander off to?
Hopefully everyone understands the Spoon Theory reference there.
I think someone just stole most of my spoons. Today was (supposed to be) cleaning day. Our cleaning lady was supposed to be here around 1pm.
So, I helped my mom straighten up the upstairs some, and then I came downstairs to straighten out my bedroom. (I have no energy to do the rest of the basement) I picked up the junk that I'd dropped on the floor, and put stuff away so that the cleaning lady can vacuum the floor.
I put things away...I dragged all my plastic totes that hold my crochet and knitting and sewing projects into the spare room that we dont have the cleaning lady clean.
All this so that the cleaning lady can move around in my room and actually clean the floor and dust things like blinds and baseboards.
I usually do all this when the cleaning lady is still cleaning upstairs. She usually doesnt make it down to my room till after 3pm.
Thing is, that she hadnt even shown up yet at 3pm. My mom doesnt react well to change or to things that screw up her plans. She just made me call the cleaning lady to cancel cleaning for today.
I moved all my stuff into the other room and tired myself out for nothing now. I decided to vacuum my bedroom, (or at least half of it) since I had all the junk off the floor.
I think vacuuming was not a smart thing to do. My legs suddenly got all hot and really burning, my feet and legs feel like they dont want to do anything and I think they're considering a mutiny now.
Even my arms are tired and it's taking me forever to type this because I keep making mistakes.
I think I may have a small spoon deficit now...kind of like the stock market crashing. I want to go get my laptop from the spare room now, but just cant get up the energy to go roll it back into here.
I hope my parents werent planning on me driving them out to dinner. Moving from this chair is not looking all that promising right now.
Is this the MS exhaustion that I've been hearing about? I've been tired before, but never this quickly after doing normal everyday activities.
