Fatigue day today.
I went to the supermarket at lunchtime. Needed to visit the pharmacy, so also had lunch in the café (and did a bit of work there) and bought some groceries.
That wiped me out for the rest of the day. I’ve not even had the energy to put the groceries away. Mercifully I didn’t buy anything frozen.
@amyworrall Hope you’re feeling more rested today, and PEM doesn’t come a knocking.
🤞
@amyworrall I have never thought of the phrase "fatigue day," but I know exactly what you mean. I hope you recover quickly.
@amyworrall A trip that bundles the supermarket, the pharmacy and a bit of work sounds small to other people, but anyone with chronic fatigue knows that can be a whole day's energy. Leaving the groceries for later is the right trade. Steady meals with some protein can keep a blood sugar crash from stacking on top of the fatigue, so a few easy things in the house for days like this are worth having. Hope tomorrow is quieter.
I educate about these types of things. Feel free to follow, it may help.
@therealjimbbq I’m pretty good at _having_ meals — it’s often takeout if I lack energy to cook, though!
Today was better. I set up lights and a few decorations in the yard and have been answering the door to trick or treaters.
