During the first day I was living on the water only. On the second day I ate a small portion of oatmeal with fruits. On the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> day in the late afternoon I could eat again without risk of vomiting. So I started to eat, slowly and gently at first, but I ended staying up late, because I was so hungry and sore from almost 3 day in bed. And of course my sleeping schedule ceased to exist after that. I was laying in bed trying to sleep until around 7 am, only then I became so tired I could fall asleep. I woke up at 11.30 roughly, feeling very weak, but surprisingly good. But I know my body was deceiving me, I know how long it takes to recover from long episode, and it surely isn\u2019t one night! I did self check upon waking \u2013 only 5 spoons for today, not much to spend. And it\u2019s elections day, I need to go somewhere and vote. So I spent one spoon on getting up and just the usual hygiene stuff \u2013 with whole body in pain it\u2019s more expensive. I was surprised that I remembered my new face care routine. Then easy breakfast, as I need to save the spoons \u2013 nice portion of oatmeal with fruits and a mug of coffee. I deserve to treat myself after such horrible time. My spine aches seriously today \u2013 my left hand goes numb at times, oh well, I\u2019ll do physio exercises if I\u2019ll have spoons left later. The general pain I\u2019d rate as \u03c0 \u2013 low, but never ending. So far, so good, I decided to treat myself even more and done a nice make up \u2013 the first time in months. I went out, my nearest voting place was located in school, huge, overwhelming crowd \u2013 but it was also good \u2013 showing that people finally do care. Another spoon gone. I decided that weather is OK and I need a bit of walk and fresh air after 3 days in bed, so I did. So I walked, and walked some more, not even looking around, being, as usual, in my head. That\u2019s what I do when I have a difficult choice to make \u2013 I take phone, headphones, bottle of water, powerbank and comfortable shoes and I walk. At some point I realised that my feet are sore and I\u2019m starving, I checked the watch \u2013 almost 8 kilometres! Yeah, 2 spoons did \u2013 puff! That\u2019s all folks with being gentle to myself today. I took the tram back home. My legs are made of bricks now, or concrete. It\u2019s difficult to take a few more steps now. But now I\u2019m back home, the cat is laying on me and gently purring and I\u2019m thinking. I still need to do some things \u2013 measure feet for the winter shoes, prepare mentally for the working week, go out again, as I noticed that I used the last remains of the tea and I forgot to buy it on the way. And I need to wash my hair. It all will cost more than one spoon, and I have nothing spare from the past days. Maybe I\u2019ll be able to go to sleep earlier to get more tomorrow, but I doubt it already \u2013 most probably I\u2019ll be waiting for some elections results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I had that long episode.
