I've got to think outside the stupid box, I guess. I'm giong through a period of fatigue, muscle spasticity, AND arthritis, and it doesn't take much to suck up all my spoons for a given day. A weekly schedule just isn't cutting it right now, so I'm trying to figure out another plan.

Yes, it would be nice if we could afford help (we can't), if my husband would do more (he's already doing as much as he physically can), if the kids would help (they're dealing with their own hard times). So I'm trying to figure out what I can stretch.

I'm already trying to get groceries every two weeks. That's pretty much a day's worth of spoons. I'm already showering less frequently. There's about 1/4 to 1/2 day of spoons. Obviously I can't clean the toilets every two weeks. I might invest $30-40 in socks and underwear, wash a white load 3x a month instead of every week.

I'm too tired to tonight to really think about this, but at least I've starting to think about thinking about it....
