Dang!
You blew it for me.... I thought this was really a vacation. Now what am I going to do? Holy crappola!
So many people just don't get it. They think that we're being lazy, that all we have to do is get out of bed, get moving, and everything will be OK. Well, Turn the lights on.... it doesn't work that way.So, honey, you want me to get out of bed and cook? What do I do when my face is stuck in the frying pan because I don't have the energy to lift it up? You want me to make the bed? That only happens when I'm under the covers and pull enough up to reach my neck.
You want me to drive? Really? You're kidding, right?Oh... leave the house? Not without the cops and handcuffs. I'll leave when I'm d*mned good and ready.
People just don't get it. I do wish that we could have a pill or something that would let them feel what it is like for just one day.
Good luck hon.
Dee.
