Usually despite having arthritis and celiac I am chipper, happy, loveable. I maybe a little snippy when I hurt, or I'm tired but in general I'm happy and I appologise. Today was different, Today I had no spoons, and I had no reason to pretend I had spoons. I woke up simply spoonless. A rare occurrence but it happens to all of us in chronic pain and today I made no bones about it I did not have spoons. This means I woke up over everything 100% done with: pain, exhaustion, BS, snow, cold weather, 8-4 work, etc. Why? Probably exams, too much snow, work, pain, lack of exercise, and general stress. So bottom line NO SPOONS!
Because I have no spoons I feel its time to explain it in a comical manner so I can laugh at how piss poor I feel about the day. Atleast then my spoonlessness will have been amusing for me and others so onto the explanation of what it means to have no spoons.
What is spoonless? Well if you want the g-rated original version I recommend you go here: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/wpress/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/
For the short version of no spoons I basically woke up feeling like this:
Now if you'd like a more detailed hour by hour action here we go:
I woke up like this:
Then I went to look at the weather and went like this:
Then I couldn't figure out what was wrong and I felt like:
Then I realized my bones felt like:
Then I sat in traffic and was like:
Then I had to deal with some BS with my doctor messing up my script and I found out our insurance/a medical company messed up some payments I was all like:
Then the day got really busy and I was like:
Then I was like:
Then people were asking me about my spoons and I was like:
Then the day ended and I was like:
Now I'm at home relieved still with no spoons but planning to do Pilates anyway feeling like:
Now that I've gotten all that out of my system my therapy for no spoons is complete. I hope my annoyance with the day, chronic illness, snow, etc has at-least amused someone other than myself. If I cant be happy because I'm a grump at-least I can turn it into something funny I can relate to relieving some stress.
