Forgot what normal strength and energy is

I was exhausted at work today, I barely made it through. And it was only three hours! And my tasks were easy, dust mop a huge room, clean 12 glass windows on the doors and then mop the gym. I was dragging myself around but at least I closed my move ring with 5300 steps.

When the guy came to help me move I paid him to do everything himself. I helped him with the bed and a couple heavy boxes and the rest were boxes and I let him do it himself. I thought it was asking a lot from him but he did it cheerily and I asked him if he was tired and he just laughed and said no. I was envious, I used to have that strength and energy too. I used to be the one who my family always used to ask to help them move and I could lift stuff for hours and still have energy left. It’s sad how far down I’ve gone in strength, energy and endurance. I miss it.

Im exhausted about 3 hours after waking up. Some days are harder than others. I still mow the lawn though.

I used the visible app today, it’s for CFS & it helped, my energy was very low this morning, I got an hrv rating of 2 out of 5 for my morning stability and it asked me to have a quieter day, so I’ve been checking out my pace points and luckily only went over it a little bit, hopefully tomorrow will be a better score.

I have noticed that, as I age, the days seem shorter and the naps seem longer.
