Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 A beautiful day, busy morning, but hopefully this afternoon I'll get to watch the Snowbirds in Moncton. Even when you're busy you should make the time to relax and decompress. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #disability

Daily Spoon Count 7/10 Pain Level 2/10 Slept like the dead and I needed it. Finally back to baseline. I'm not here on Bluesky all that much anymore, I'm almost exclusively on Gander as it grows and has the public launch on Canada Day. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 Some pretty good sleep and my energy is up a bit and pain down, which is good because the side hustle is finally picking up. Now if we could get some nice weather... Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #invisibleillness

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 Medical test this morning, then off to some side hustle errands. This season has been slower than past years, I'm thinking it's the price of gas. Oh well, we carry on and hustle harder. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness

They couldn't even be bothered to put a paper liner on the floor before getting in it with greasy boots. There's grease on the leather interior too. According to the owner, he did me a favour by working on it and I ruined his day.

Daily Spoon Count 5/10 Pain Level 3/10 I pick up my Miata this morning and I'm bracing myself for 4hrs of washing it... Because the shop parked it in a pine tree for 3 days instead of working on it. I don't need this stress. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #anxiety

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 Miserable sleep last night, that 6/10 might be optimistic. Woke up every hour, didn't fall asleep till midnight. Guh. Pace myself and get things done. Miata supposed to be fixed by end of day. Be a work in progress today and everyday. #ibd #spoonie

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 I finally had a good night's sleep, all I needed was a weed and hash joint the size of my thumb. Very little running around this morning and mainly a lo-fi kinda day. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness #fatigue

Daily Spoon Count 5/10 Pain Level 2/10 A horrible night's sleep, awake off and on all night, up at 4:55am. I have 2 errands to do, the rest of my day is rest. The body keeps the score. And I'm losing right now. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 Slept like the dead, still down a spoon. Gotta run to the shore and grab some groceries, good times. Mornings like this make me question if I can still keep pace for the side hustle. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #chronicillness

Great piece Ms. Gilmore, well done... And scary as hell, as these people 'humanize' themselves to the rest of the political right.

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 2/10 I slept through the night last night, 1st time since Friday. Another low energy day for me. It's hard for me to get caught up on spoons once I get fatigued, the joys of #chronicillness Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #disability

Thank you, your recipe is similar to one I got from an Asian medicine practitioner. His had cinnamon and no vinegar.

Daily Spoon Count 5/10 Pain Level 3/10 Another lousy sleep and up sick in the night. Pretty sure this was a food trigger too. These really run one down, so this will be a very low key day. Rest and self care. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #disability #chronicillness #spoonie

Daily Spoon Count 5/10 Pain Level 2/10 My 6/10 spoon count y'day was rather optimistic. I was grumbly and lethargic all day, sleep was poor last night. Gotta go to the shore this morning, otherwise a slow day. Be a work in progress today and everyday #ibd #spoonie #disability #chronicillness

Daily Spoon Count 6/10 Pain Level 3/10 I tried a new food yesterday and was awake in the night with bad gastro pain. I guess I won't have that again. Too much of an #IBD, for me, is food triggers. I really miss the old foods I used to love. Be a work in progress today and everyday #spoonie
