Spoon supply is critically low. Supply chain issues mean restocking is slow and intermittent. May have to close up shop for a bit. Not easy at this time of year.

Coffee and Contemplation - 6 1/2 hours of work. The last hour was mostly spent on drawing those little postcards on the green wall.

Rooster man and hen woman staring lovingly in each other's eyes while their coffee goes cold. On a green wall next to their booth are a series of vintage postcard collage art. The kitchen behind them is now coming together.

Sending everyone extra spoons for tomorrow. 🥄🎄

Well, the good news is, I've fixed the dishwasher door again. The bad is I seem to have used all the #spoons. Tomorrow's as well probably.

The image depicts a collection of metal spoons with distinctive curves, resembling traditional Tolowa elk-horn spoon designs. These utensils are arranged on a white surface against a backdrop that includes blurred elements suggesting motion or activity in the background. The photograph is presented as an archive item and provides insight into Native American craftsmanship from around 1923.

Was gonna make origami cards but I couldn't find my shiny origami paper and instead i found some cute cards at the back of the cabinet and so I just wrote out some heartfelt messages, and I'm gonna send them with wax seals on the outside.

Gotta choose your battles and I'm so *DONE* with this festivus prep / present disasters / courier shenanigans / varying states of illness of varying people.

I keep forgetting that even good being social knocks me so far sideways that all I've managed is a bit of washing up & hanging washing.
Whilst I loaded & started the washing around midday, it was something after 18:00 before I even got anything else done.

Just about managed feeding myself, even though I was hungry for tea I had zero idea or enthusiasm for cooking. Plan A failed as I didn't have any mixed veg in the freezer to go with whatever tinned thing I picked.
Plan B just about made it.

🎶 Hello AuDHD,
it's nice to talk with you ag-
…

OK! Come back here! …

My plans for getting a decent start on decorations flunked & has not returned.
Just finished tea 'bout half an hour ago & it's already pretty much supper time, if I want a chance of waking up early enough & feeling remotely productive tomorrow, that is.

"We dive into the messy middle between excitement and exhaustion: the buzz of starting something new, the crash that comes after, and what “building capacity” looks like when you’re disabled."

in the 90s, i had to go to merka twice, many weeks at a time, for training at some of my small merkan multinational employer's sites

in the early to mid 00s i underwent my full #transition, over a three year period, whilst working for the ginormous merkan multinational that had in the meanwhile bought my hitherto employer. they were empathic & supportive of me throughout, for which i remained ever grateful, notwithstanding their frequently stupid merkan corporate culture & practices

over recent years i have often played a mind-game with myself, as i observe merka's descent into failed state status, a horrific fascist dystopia of hatred, violence, & idiocy, & ask myself "what would you have done, Droppie, if the timing had been different, such that you had been required to travel to that evil hellhole as it is now, in your post-transition sadly-unpassing present state?" ofc i am certain beyond a shadow of doubt i would have refused outright, so i wonder what that would have done to my employment, my career, my... well, lots of stuff.

Energy 🥄🪫🥄

...or lack thereof... For a while now, I feel like life is just too draining at times. I can't get enough sleep, and when I get some more sleep, it's often filled with the most horrible nightmares. I wake up feeling more exhausted than I did before I went to bed. It's gotten to a point where, if I slept for 6 hours without my dreams being too upsetting, that I don't dare to sleep some more... Afraid that the "extra sleep" will be filled with the worst stuff. Unfortunately, this has happened so many times, that this fear is based on real experiences, and not just my imagination thinking up the worst. But when you get short nights, when you wake up with your muscles tight and painful, with a heart rate of over 90 due to bad dream... It's getting harder and harder to refill the personal battery, and to regain the needed spoons to keep going, day in, day out... […]

A Bitmoji based on Cynni stands against a plain black background, looking tired or low on energy with a slightly slumped posture. They wear blue headphones, reflective blue sunglasses, purple camouflage trousers, and a purple T-shirt featuring a heart in the nonbinary (enby) flag colors. Above their head are three pixelated hearts, like in a retro video game—only the first heart is partly red, while the other two are empty, suggesting low health or energy.

A Bitmoji based on Cynni poses confidently against a bright yellow background, smiling and raising a fist in a cheerful, encouraging gesture. They wear blue headphones, reflective blue sunglasses, and a purple T-shirt with a heart in the nonbinary (enby) flag colors. Above their head, a large dark-blue speech bubble displays the bold white text “You Can Do It!”, giving the whole image an upbeat, motivational feel.

Low spoon time?

Original post:

My physical well-being has been pretty much okay lately. Instead, I have had a distinct absence of mental energy. I can’t win sometimes.

In brighter news, I picked up a smart watch in the Black Friday sales and have learned my resting heart rate is pretty healthy. So, that’s something.

I really wish my Mam wasn't such a technophobe. Doubly annoying that she lives so far away & triply so that she doesn't ask one of her more tech savvy friend's to help her get to grips with her phone.

The flip side is that she's the only person who phones me so I have no way to verify if all the phone call woes are her accidentally triggering things by touching buttons or things on screen (I can imagine her holding the phone slightly away from her ear so the in-call screen is displayed) & putting herself on mute or me on hold.

Is it her or has my phone, network or the Lineage OS developed problems?

After today's particularly Mute & Hold heavy call, or calls - I'd have to hang up & phone her again & again to get back to having a conversation instead of hearing nothing or being on hold - I hope she will take my strong suggestion of asking one, or some of her friends to help her.

I was hoping she would be coming over for xmas or new year's, giving me a chance to check her phone, maybe minimize google spying & if I can figure out how to be patient enough show her how to use her phone whilst knowing she won't remember or will struggle to remember.
I'd also have to hope I can still fathom how phones running android OS work as it's been several years.

I don't have the spoons to go visit her & with the festively terrible (non-existant) public transport between hers & the nearest hotel ensuring my spoon tank is permanently empty for the duration so it's probably not a good idea.
Last year I left her's on xmas day just before we were going to have dinner. Walking back to the hotel in tears & having snacks instead of a good meal. I do not recommend as it's probably my worst xmas & would not like a repeat. 😔😢😞.

Best Key Lime pie I have ever made, and eaten with one of my very important spoons.

Yes, Penguin, I am coming. #food #pie #spoons

I keep having to remind myself that online communication is still communication, and it's not weird that sometimes I don't have it in me to post anything. (Yes, I see the obvious contradiction in posting this here!)

Especially after multiple days of socialising, therapy, seeing the doctor, etc. My capacity for wordusingitude is limited.

It's frustrating because words are usually my jam, but sometimes I just have to try and accept my limits.

Coffee and Contemplation: 4 hours

Both the rooster man and the hen woman are coloured in. The table top they are leaning their elbows on is now coloured too as are the reflections of the coffee cups.

Really need to get to bed before midnight tonight, or I turn into a gremlin or something 🤷.

I need to start reclaiming my mornings as it would be nice to get to about lunch time & actually have accomplished some thing. Just simple things maybe but things like a bit of house cleaning, going for a walk, some reading & maybe a little bit of writing & drawing.

Maybe it could boost my confidence & make it possible to volunteer somewhere, even if the local volunteering options are only charity shop work.
