BULL ****!!!

I might have a new hobby if I can find a poodle puppy soon. Saw a nice one the other day, but my dad didnt like her (showed him pictures on my cellphone, he wouldnt go look at her with me and my mom tho)

If we get a new puppy, I'll get back into the hobby/job of dog raising and taking the dog to obedience training. I did that with my old dog, and that was hard work. (he was 100+ pounds, and a practical joker. Ever see a dog laugh?)

The new dog will hopefully be a miniature poodle, so it wont get anywhere near the size of my last dog. Hopefully that means it wont be near as much work.

I loved obedience training my last dog, so hopefully the new dog will be just as fun to train. (poodles like to please their owners, my last dog didnt. He always wanted to be pleased by his owners. He liked being bribed...but he was fun)

If you asked my DH, that's what he'd say about me! I do keep the house neat and clean, I'm on top of laundry, and spend a lot of time doing things for my DD. But there is much room for improvement in the clean house area. As soon as I find the energy, I'll deal with it!

I try to spend a lot of time reading. It keeps my mind sharp (as sharp as a marshmellow).

All of the above.

I volunteer. Do church stuff. exercise, play on the computer, cook, clean, sew, and putter. some days are more active than others, and I allow my gas tank to determine how I will spend my day. If I have a full tank, I get loads done, if not, I watch TV.

You learn to adjust.

I do pretty much everything except watch TV. I rarely watch live TV anymore. I record two shows and watch on Saturday night.

I don't volunteer as often as I use to because of fatigue.

I take my elderly inlaws to dr. appts., shopping, etc. We usually go over to their place once a week to have dinner, fill their med trays and play cards.
I try to work out a few times per week. Also try to do some homework...that's low on the list...
I also have to do the mowing, pond work, etc. I also try to do the cleaning, but that's getting more difficult as my stiffness has increased.
Not much fun...one of my goals this year is to incorporate more activities that will be fun for me, instead of obligations...

I didn't see "naptime" on your list ..

Wow! How could I have forgotten that?! Fatigue is one of the main reasons that I'm on disability.

TKTC - Me too! With the exception that I don't record any shows. LOL

Naptime is a must and that takes a good 2 hours out of my day.

Also, while a clean house is great, due to muscle fatigue and such I have lowered my standards on that one. Still, I try to accomplish 1 cleaning task a day.

Hobbies wasn't on the list but in reality that is what I spend most of my day doing. Whether it be reading (just read a great book on the history of signs and symbols), artwork, or refinishing/refurbishing/repurposing small pieces of furniture that people have thrown away ( sorry but "dumpster diving" does have some benefits and I have sold a few of these fixed up pieces). I am busy doing something with my hands all the time.

Ooooo. Mmmm. Bon bons.

I just gained five pounds by simply typing that.
