Why "Living by Spoons"?

Spoonies

If you are here reading my blog, you probably know what a "spoonie" is. If not, or if you just want to know where the term came from, here is a link.

Spoonies know that we don't get to choose what gets done in a day. We are limited by our allotment of spoons each day. Some days we can get everything done (and maybe then some!), and other days our 'to do' list is left a mile long.

This is why I named my blog, Living by Spoons. Spoonies spend their day acutely aware of their spoons and how many are left. Plans, time, etc don't come into play in our lives nearly as much as our spoons do.

What is affected? 

Everything! In the last year that I've been diagnosed, I have needed to work out ways to adjust meal preparation, homeschooling, shopping/errand running, caring for my kids, housework, gardening, and more that I'm not thinking of right now (thank you brain fog!) 

I plan on sharing tips and stories about all aspects of spoonie life.  

I hope you, my dear readers, will find these tips helpful and will feel welcome in sharing some of your own tips as time passes. :)

Hugs, Leigh
