Gotta constantly remember that "perfect is the enemy of good" when it comes to chores. Not that the chore should be done *sloppily,* but that I can do a small AMOUNT of it at a time instead of all at once.
Dishes are my kryptonite here.

Shoutout to Past Me who screenshot an Instant Pot Spaghetti recipe and saved it to OneNote so that Teflon Brain Current Me can remember what to put in the pot today for how long. At least we're getting hot food today. #lowspoons #instantpot
So much I want to do so little body time.
If I could prefer you choose exactly what my energy would be used for, it would be amazing meals, seeing friends and reading books.
I try my best to do a little of all of that but currently can’t walk properly without pain so we have to really pick our battles I guess . Here’s hoping I get to make Kabuli Pulao and Matzo Ball soup soon #cooking #lowspoons

Let’s play the game, is it COVID, or is it my undiagnosed disability, and either way does it make it my fault? #disability #disabled #lowspoons #covid #sickofbeingsick

It sucks being emotionally triggered by pain and sickness, because I’m so often in pain and sick.
It drives my anxiety through the roof, being not sure why I’m debilitated. And my doctor says there’s nothing she can do until I’m on meds for my mental health, which sucks because my mental health is definitely not the sole cause.
I wish I wasn’t scared of how little I know. Maybe I could fix things if I could just find the reason #disabled #lowspoons #undiagnosed

Shoutout to 🍿 popcorn for being one of the lowest spoon meals to hit the spot. #spoonie #popcorn #lowspoons #Chronicallylll

My completed spoon itinerary for today:
I most did large tasks today. I helped a friend with a final, went to the grocery store with a different friend (hugggggeee spoon take because I have to walk), fed myself, and even took a shower. I definitely need to take it easy tomorrow #lowspoons
Made potato nachos tonight and it was both simpler than I expected and very delicious. Definitely adding to my regular #cooking rotation.
Feels like a recipe that might be good for #lowSpoons days: it doesn't require a huge amount of time; it only uses a mixing bowl, a baking sheet, and some utensil to mix with; it can be done mostly sitting down; and it reheats well for easy leftovers later
So, as is my way... I've come around to the trend of like ten years ago and bought an Instant Pot on sale.
Friends, I need recipes that are suitable (or scalable) for one person, or that freeze well. No seafood or pork pls.

Here's the state of my travel palette after one sketch.
I used waterbrushes, which was an experiment with low spoon painting. But I think it make it much harder to keep the colors clean.
I'll try another few sketches using my regular brushes, see if that helps any.

Betreffs Profile: bei der Welle, die jetzt war, bin ich vielen einfach zurück gefolgt. Wenn da bedenkliche dabei sind, die in der Vergangenheit zb in der Voliere Scheisse geschrieben haben und ich das nicht mitbekommen habe, wäre ein kurzer Hinweis toll, bevor ihr mich blockt :) #lowspoons
I started a game of #TheBeast a while ago, but stopped after one of the prompts kinda ... broke my immersion? I think I might have gotten one of the narrative arc producing cards a bit early, before the situation/beast was well-established in my head.
I could totally see the potential even then, but then #lowspoons and real world and eh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Could be fun to give it another try...
