Did the chicken slices thaw in the last hour?

Maybe a little but it's still a brick so into the fridge where I apparently put the frozen bread after fishing a couple of slices out earlier 🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️.

I hereby dub today officially, Mind Fog Day.
Put that in your calendar & smoke it... Or something.

Well, life with no schedule & no solid plans has hit a small bolder today.
I had a vague plan to finally give my Lineage OS a massive update (going through most of the rigmarole of installing fresh OS procedure 😰) & updating a laptop that's been neglected for several months & finally Linux-ifying my Surface that has been missing for many months (possibly a year or more).

The small bolder = my phone, thankfully, reminding me that today is library day, swap & renew books. Renew I could do online but swap means prep for peopling mode, get changed & step outside.

Today I started feeling fine but my lack of enough sleep soon caught up, so me & my brain just cringed & thought, "hell no!" to the reminder, but needs must.

I'm glad I managed to just get on with it rather than waste ½ - 1 hour trying to rejig a planned day. It meant I could just get on with it.

I'm back from the library & a quick look in the secondhand bookshop / cafe where I found two books to take home. Got back home, still feeling knackered but also feeling much better.

I doubt I've got the spoons to sort my phone but laptop is doable & if I've still got the time & mood to do it, maybe sort the Surface.

Oops! More than I was expecting to prattle 😅. Guess my autism is in a talky mood.

I may have survived the mind-fog-bank that owned me for a couple of days but I'm getting peeved off with this mental haze.
I'm still being controlled but if I'm able to focus on what I want to do I can get it done.
It's taking extra spoons to get there.

What's the threshold of % mind fog where one can safely operate a car and write a chapter in a book? Yesterday, I putting things in wrong containers or wondering why I was in the kitchen. Yet, I wrote a full chapter that got to the point. Lots of description not action, but not half bad. Today... Wait, what did I first say here? Something about writing today's chapter? A famous quote applies:

"I trying to think but nothing happens." —one of The Three Stooges.

@crestee Interesting. In a sense, the fibro reduced me to one spoon. The pain I experienced isn't "actual" like most sufferers reportl, but... don't have a word for it... blocking? Expected?Dreaded? Slipping like if I use that energy I'll slide down hill and it will be harder/impossible to come back up? Immobilizing? My fibro's is usually more #mindfog than pain, but it certainly steals the "spoons" anyway! Thanks for the article; it helps conceptualize why I avoid movement and switching gears in that state.
