Had to make a decision between putting out the bins, or stripping and remaking the bed for the first time in over 2 weeks, with an aim of then showering for the first time in about 4 days.

Most of spoonie-ness is very much linked to our neurodivergence, but we're just so cumulatively exhausted from everything that even doing what should be basic household chores has become a constant matter of triage 🥺😔

We're long past the kind of tired where a good night's rest will keep. We're at the point where we'd need weeks of full rest without any obligations or responsibilities to even make a dent in the tiredness.

But we don't have that luxury.

The show must go on.

And we must shower tonight whilst we can.

At least once our heart rate lowers just a little bit more. It's gone back down from 132 to about 88 bpm already at least.
