Im bored, but I dont have the energy to do anything! I swear this disease is so cruel. You get to stay home from work, where you have dreamed of getting to do so many things, and go so many places, but then you sit here going "im too tired to get myself a glass of water." let alone go anywhere. I did manage to ride the street today on my trike, but the last uphill climb to get to the house almost did me in! my legs were burning and shaking. I used to be a gymnast, now I can ride a trike?!
I cant read because my vision is fuzzy. I cant listen to audio books because I am so easily distracted today. TV is out because of the vison/distraction thing combined. Everyone I call is out having fun. I cant play on my computer games because I cant see them. All my local friends are out having fun. Jack the cat ended up needing an injection so he is cuddled up in bed, but in a "dont touch me" mood. (dont blame him) What do YOU do when you are bored, but too tired, or MS riddled with sx to do anything? Give me some suggestions! im going stir crazy, but dont want to spend all my spoons.

Bubble bath. Bubble bath and candles and then some lotion and a nap.

I was the same this morning Dej! I was SO bored but felt ill and didn't have the energy to do anything but lay in bed. My boyfriend kept telling me to go out hoping that I would feel well and he'd be able to cheer me up but I just didn't have the energy to do anything! I've got a numb leg now so that's been talking it's toll trying to 'adapt' to it (having tests to see whats causing it and have to see my neuro on Tuesday).
I stay at home pretty often because I don't have the energy to do things. Sometimes I find though that not doing things makes me more tired ... you just can't win! When I can't do anything I usually watch movies all day and they usually tend to cheer me up. I like watching chick flicks ! I also spend my time on here or Facebook when I have the energy but that's been getting harder to do lately. I read books like Sally (having to for my exams) and also listen to relaxing music whilst talking a bath. I hope you feel better soon! I know how depressing it can! Hugs to you!

Play the piano (badly); listen to music; read a selection from my collection of Calvin & Hobbes, Pickles, Dilbert or Zits; stare out the window at the river; daydream; pray; yack on the phone with my daughter, who doesn't care if we have silent spells; sit outside and watch the chickens; make lists; comb my cats; look at old photos;.....eat....

I managed to cook a poached egg and some toast for dinner. its quick and yummy. I found some movie here from NetFlix that I havent seen yet, and have decided to stop whining. I cant read cause my vision is so fuzzy, and who cares if the TV is fuzzy, I will watch it anyway.
Love the ideas! keep um coming!

See how much poetry I still know by heart and words to songs from "yesteryear". Take pictures of my cats until they get sick of me.

I finally managed to fall asleep about midnight. I was completely spent, wiped out, and beyond exhaustion, but I couldnt knock off. I took an extra pill and out I went. I needed that rest so badly, but laying in bed wasnt bringing back my spoons. I slept about 5 hours straight till Jack decided that he needed cuddles.
Its going to be a slow day, even tho I have much to do. I simply cant spend all my spoons again, like I did with MIL.
