I know! I’m quite stressed about it. I have very little energy. But it all really needs to be done. Or people will get mad, send debt collectors, and the like. Except for the hairdresser, but my hair is falling out a bit and dry and weird, so even that is needed.

Thanks for the support.

Showered, washed hair, wrote card, researched and sent e-mail to insurance, laundry is running, some dishes were washed. Rest of the kitchen needs more cleaning, like the oven. Also did groceries, cooked for myself this morning and afternoon, and walked to work (and back again, because for some mysterious reason there wasnt anyone there…maybe the paid worker was ill). I also made a list of all the bills I need to pay tomorrow.

Now time for tea.

I like these kind of lists, they help me. They work like giving a sticker to a kid for completing a task.

It is 10:30

  • I ate well, dressed up, brushed teeth.
  • I just did the blood draw. Needed to go for a month already. I was very frightened of blood draws before, but I succeeded without freaking out. Which was triumph.
  • I saw social worker. We chatted about family history.

Next planned for today.

  • Clean the rest of the kitchen, still not done. :frowning:
  • Put laundry away.
  • Clean living room
  • Call energy consultant
  • Go to hairdresser
  • Cook and eat dinner
  • Shower

That is enough for the days. The psychologist, bills, and other stuff can wait.

This week’s mission is to hack a Pentax PK to Canon EOS EF lens adapter so I can put vintage Pentax glass on my full-frame camera bodies. The adapter was designed for Canons with cropped-sensors. I can make it work, but it’s a pain in the arse:

I’ve got a huge pile of quality manual Pentax lenses to play with.

Sounds like a lot! How did it work out?

I read back my plans for yesterday. It was quite accurate. I even incorporated the crash that was about to happen after work. :roll_eyes:

My plan for the day, now I finally stopped procrastinating (or am about to :)):

  •  Go to town. Buy a few basic self-care things. 

  •  Volunteer two hours. 

  •  Clean a bit 

  •  Laundry

  •  Eat with others and do sports. 

  •  Shower.

Great!

I went to town, volunteered, did the laundry, ate and did sports. I am proud (also, nearly falling over from fatigue). Now a shower. The cleaning is for tomorrow.

Got to be careful with that, watch you don’t burn out by doing too much, I know how hard it can be to maintain an ideal balance.

Thanks, I will. Have to watch myself. I do take a lot of time to sit still and do nothing inbetween. Or take a relaxing walk through the park. Not today. But normally. :slight_smile:

I take lots of breaks too but i still somehow managed to over do it on occasion, I have got overwhelmed and fatigued,

My fatigue is a bit better these days but it was pretty bad for a long time, i get exhausted very easily.

Sorry to hear about that. But good the fatigue got better. What do you do now, if things overwhelm you, if I may ask?

For decades I ignored each and every of my own boundaries (as did everyone else). Then I crashed. Now I’m a lot better at it. I just drop everything when I seem to get overwhelmed. To the point of being rude. In this period I’m trying to carefully build up a bit too though…to get a bit more stamina in sports and work and social stuff.

Its very tricky bc sometimes i think i can handle something but then turns out it is not the case and i have to try and cut back, i have warning signs where i get panicky and my mood starts to fluctuate and i feel sick, its hard when i am balancing things not to overload the cart but it happens on occasion.
