Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

A combination of too-fatigued-to-care and internet.

But seriously, I need some brownies. I'm contemplating trying to make brownies while sitting on the floor. Reaching up high to get ingredients out of cupboards might do me in. BUT I WANT BROWNIES! See what y'all started?!

Took me almost an hour, but I mixed up brownies from scratch while sitting on the floor. Tried a new recipe from The Joy of Cooking. It doesn't have baking powder in it, I hope it turns out okay!

I was thinking I might make blog/videos of how to cook with POTS. Equal parts cooking, adaptive strategies, and encouragement. I'd have to get my laptop fixed so I could edit videos, but I have the technology to do it.

I'm relieved to have symptoms improve at night - my usual pattern. I'm trying to get the kitchen cleaned up from brownies.

I have rhubarb to do something with. I like to make and can BBQ sauce out of rhubarb but I have plenty left from last year. Maybe a different flavor? DH doesn't really like either or the recipes I tried last year.

I made rhubard-cherry-blueberry pie filling. Except..... some of the rhubarb is fibrous. Might have ruined the whole batch. I'm not sure if I can salvage it. It's in the fridge overnight while I think about it.

Despite spending the day in bed, I'm going to sleep tonight with a clean house, a pan of brownies, and a plan for supper tomorrow.

Poor DH hasn't adjusted to accept that I get it done, but on my own schedule (which even I can't predict or control).

It's hard to do things when you're not feeling completely up to it. I love that you did it anyway! From the floor, but hey, it got done.

Mind yourself over there today

GRRRR! My actual post posted 3 times! I don't know what happened to the real one, lol.

@tortoise Congrats on getting so much done - I don't know how you do it! And I hope that DS will figure out that he will expend less energy just doing the math homework instead of spending all day trying not to!

This is how I do it:

When I feel bad I lay in bed feeling sorry for myself, eating chocolate and wandering the internet.

When I feel good I do stuff.



I'm not good at coping with feeling unwell. I try to make up for it.
