Day 8: Some Days Work Better Than Others

In my original post in 2016, I invited everyone to come by and visit me. Don’t do this now, please.

“I would love to visit you but I don’t want you to waste a spoon on me.” –from a friend

Come visit me!! 🙂 Don’t worry about taxing me if you come stop by these days. Sometimes, it’s worth using a spoon, if the benefit is good for my mental health. That goes for seeing friends, as well as Skyping or FaceTiming, and especially applies to doing some work. If I get a little reading or Yiddish done, it might cost me a lot of spoons to work for an hour or so, but I feel so much better about myself at the end.

Yesterday, I was able to enjoy time with friends from Oxford, some of whom I hadn’t seen in over a year. It had been planned months before. While I had to save spoons for two days before, and I’ll be recovering today and tomorrow, it is SO worth it! My spirits are so good today, and I would have been so bummed out if I hadn’t seen them.

So don’t worry– I’ll let you know if it’s not a good time to come. Otherwise, come visit! We can chat, munch biscuits, whatever. Certainly don’t be concerned your presence will make me worse– it will definitely only make me better. 🙂 Also, shout-out to the The Hibbs Lupus Trust and their Walk for Lupus Research today! The weather is definitely working for you.

Even back then, I was an expert video chatter! It’s always been a great tool for me, because you can chat without even getting off the couch. Don’t come visit, but do keep video chatting!
