Hi everyone!
This is totally meant to be light-hearted and funny, but a tiny bit of a vent as well.
Many of us are familiar with the "spoon theory", if not look it up when you have a minute as it's worth a read. https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/
Anyway, here it is.... today I walked into Sam's Club in my slippers and just didn't give a dang. Yup, I was one of those people. As I walked through the entrance doors in my slippers with not one ounce of shame (okay, maybe a *tiny* glimmer of an ounce), I thought about the spoon theory and this forum where I first read it. Today my friends, I was out of spoons. Yep, fresh out. I've been fighting a cold for several days and in what I call "survival mode" just trying to stay above water while taking care of myself and our 5 year old. When a quick trip to Sam's Club was necessary today you better believe that I was not going to expend one ounce of critical energy in finding shoes and putting them on. HA!!
Anyway, wanted to share here because I know so many can relate! Feel free to chime in with any stories you have about running out of spoons. Funny, or otherwise.
Take care everyone!
Autumn
