Spoons? I'm confused.

Spoons - you only get so many a day. You "spend" one with each task that is difficult because of illness. When you run out all you can do is go back to bed. The post sounded like you were running out of spoons.

Wish I could remember who came up with the theory.

I've never heard about that before! I do try to limit what I have to do in a day, because pushing myself too hard means I lose a day or two afterward.

Aren't we having a fun time!?

The person who came up with the theory has fibro. It was a brilliant illustration of what a day for her is like. I'll see if I can find it.

I found it! She has Lupus, but the theory is for anyone with chronic illness. Here, go look: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/2004/11/the_spoon_theory.php
