wyld_dandelyonI got a lot of cleaning done Saturday, but clearly inhaled way too much dust. I woke up Sunday with an allergy hangover complete with blinding headache and massive brain-deadedness. I am still much tireder than I think I ought to be. The worst part of it is that it blindsided me--I was feeling pretty good, considering, all day Saturday. I have noticed that the new diet has made a difference in the allergies; mostly this has been a good thing, but apparently that has shifted things so I can't predict when I've had too much allergen exposure as accurately as I used to.
*sigh*
I've managed to get a lot done at the day job, but have been totally out of spoons by the time I get home. The little old lady who wants her story told is glaring at me from the back of my head (but at least she's sticking around).
Where are the brownies when you need them?

He doesn't want to have to count his steps just to get through crossing the courtyard. He wants to run without fearing a misstep that could lay him up for weeks. In other words, he doesn't want to have to "count spoons." But you know, I'm going to do this with him today, give him a tactile understanding of what he does to himself when he tries to be too "normal." He won't read the article, but he might just get the example.
You have given me such a gift today. Look at that good karma you put out! Thank you. Most sincerely.
