I have been dx since Jan 2010, I have not worked since 2007. I spend much of my day sitting on the couch. I do the laundry, and cook most of the meals. I do go out to the store, but I do not go 'shopping'. I really only can handle one hour out at a time.

Thanks
You just described most of my days!

I don't work anymore (not since 2007). Used to work 60-70 hour weeks.

Since I no longer have a car (got rid of it for financial and health reasons) I usually stay home unless someone picks me up. But that takes a lot of planning on my part. My usual "outing" is a trip to the grocery store but, like you, I can only handle about an hour. There are usually several days in a row that I don't go anywhere.

I still cook and clean, do laundry, etc. But it's all done in little intervals......when I have the energy. Most of my time is spent either reading, watching TV or on the 'puter.
