Another Lost Day . . .

Had an important email to do today & I really wanted to to sent early morning. But I failed to get up very early (around 10 am) so I went straight into my office from bed – still in my dressing gown.  With my breakfast – a banana and a cereal bar.  And water.
(I’m not daft enough to start on an empty tummy !)
For info – my “office” is the bedroom just next door to my actual bedroom.

But this email took me around 2 hours to do – even though it wasn’t all that long or that difficult. But for me some days – a simple thing like this can take ages. The effort of thinking it out and actually typing it out just got harder and harder the more time I spent on it. My head got sore very fast so this slowed me down anyway. Then my neck got stiff. Then the dratted brain fog descended – where it becomes so hard to think clearly at all. My thoughts seem to come in slow motion – as if they are trying to get thru treacle or something.
But I kept pushing on – as it really had to be done.

But I do know that “pushing on” like this does usually make my CFS worse.  So why did I do it you ask ?

Well if it hadn’t been sent – this would have led to a delay in getting some work started in an empty flat. This delay would = money problems (as no rent coming in but mortgage etc all need paying). This would then = more stress.  And more stress would = worse CFS symptoms.

A bit of a vicious circle.

By the time I finished this and did one more thing – almost 2.5 hours had passed. And I was feeling so unwell I had to go back to bed.   At 12.30 lunchtime.
And slept thru to 8 pm tonight !

Not ideal at all.
Anyway – I just really wanted to have a moan about it.  As this makes me fed up some days.
