    Gemzie, thank you so much for that and sorry if I've been insenstive. I honestly had no idea of your situation and don't want to intrude.
    That is an incredibly graphic way of illustrating such a situation and I will certainly remember and use it.
    God bless and may you have extra spoons tomorrow.

    Not at all insensitive bookie. It's helping me to rationalise and stop being so angry at everyone else and myself for it. Thanks

    The problem is defining importance to decide what to do or not to do.

    That's usually the easy part. The hard part is sticking to your guns given external pressures.

    But Z & Gemm pacing is so boring.
    Still the thing I have the most difficulty with.

    I have school to thank for my ability to withstand boredom. To stop kids writing their names in it, I once sat and watched the concrete floor of my garage dry.

    For 8 hours.

    That's what I learned at school... ;)

    I guess it goes back to defining 'need' and 'want'. Money is so much simpler than life though!

    It has bought home to me that, while I have understood different abilities, I have not really taken on board the extra energy and stamina needed to adapt to those restrictions. I will now.
    Not sure if that make's sense to anyone but me!
