Just trying to sort out things via the keyboard.
So much now seems to be how I feel when I leave a place of business on whether I want to go back there or not.
A gut instinct so to speak.
Trying to sort out fact from fiction gets tricky now.
Is it due to lyme brain or is it something within the business aspect of it.
Thankful that I have time to try and process things and chew it over for the most part.
I have learned not to make any decisions on my feet (so to speak as I need to be lying down most of the time and wait until the head clears enough to get an idea of what the next step is.
Also having to deal with more than one thing at a time is over load easily.
This is from a teacher who made many decisions a day before lyme hit.
I recall reading how many decisions a day a teacher needs to make and knew why teaching was so much more exhausting than working for a corporation as i did before going into teaching.
but, that is another issue.
More factors factor in now besides health. Money is also a big obstacle to overcome.
I have always been wise with money and would get several estimates and do my homework before making a purchase.
Now it is so much more than that...coming up needed funds is part of it. The funds were there before I even decided which product or business.
Ok I am confusing myself so will stop now.
Just trying to come up with some pointers on what to do when 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 anymore.
All I can think of now is to wait it out.

kam-i don't have the answer but i want you to know i have been there. i was a teacher too. and raised 4 kids and 2 husbands.
super multi tasker i was...now can't always complete even one thing at a time
waiting it out is good. i use that a lot. somtimes sleep and what i ate and just rest makes my ability change.
also i change with tx. sometimes worse first.
i wish i knew the answer but i have just learned to be gentle with myself. usually when i go to bed at night i can think back to at least one ting i accomplised during the day. i just let myself feel good about that.

Kayak...I don't recall the quote I read this morning but it asked if you talked to others like you talk to yourself in your head would you be your friend.
So, thinking back to at least one thing that you accomplished during the day is a good thing.
