I feel like this picture is a whole entire hashtag for my life. I'm literally exhausted from the moment I wake up, to the moment I go to sleep - and I barely do anything. I can't actually remember what it's like to get off my chair without groaning and today I left a mini tin of vaseline heating up to soften under my boob (shuttup don't act like you don't do that if you have bigger tiddies) for three whole hours because I legit forgot it was there.

This post occurred because of Juniper, again! Say hi guys!
When she spotted these adorable bodysuits by Dead Dollz, She immediately said to me "Pickle! We NEEEEED to do a blog with these!" Of course I agreed, not just because the bodysuits really ARE adorable, but also because of the sound of sheer excitement in Juniper's voice!
I can't remember why we decided to go to half-deer. Possibly because I'm a bossy-boots and once again took over the whole concept of the shoot. Initially, I just wanted us to cosy up on the couch looking cute af, but then as the placement of the props began, there was a whole backstory that turned up in my head. Picture the scene :
You and your bestie are having a sleepover. Naturally, you've got all your pets around you, and no matter whether they're chicks and kitties or otherwise, they naturally all get along perfectly, why? Because it's your imagination and it's perfect there, that's why!
You've prepared for this for a while, so all your favourite things are readily available to you. Who doesn't love macaroons and candy and cups of juice and and ALL THE THINGS?
I think at some point the film on the TV might have become a little tiresome for Juni, because she's pulled her phone out (although I do know she likes to keep her facebook open on her phone, so maybe she's just checking out a cute guy's photo, or responding to yet another penis picture (I'm kidding, don't send her those), when an action packed moment occurs on screen, and her glance is knocked away from the cell phone and she focuses entirely on the magical on-screen thingy-ma-bob.
You can tell from my expression that it's a cliff-hanger moment, I look like I'm ready to either cover my eyes or my mouth depending on the result.
However you chose to see the scene we set up, you can be absolutely assured that we were screaming "OH MY GOD WE'RE SO CUTE" a bunch, and generally having a riotous time!
Thank you so much, Juni. You truly do Jingleallmybells <3
Many of my friends know and understand the term and I feel like it should be a universal term for, well, everyone.
The original article is >here< and it's written in relation to Lupus. However, I feel like it should be noted that no matter who you are, you have a limited amount of spoons, daily.
The basic gist of the article is that you need a physical representation of the amount of energy you use each day. This could be spoons... this could be coins, basically, anything you can easily find multiples of. Each day, you are assigned a certain amount of "spoons". Let's say today, you have 12. That's a fair amount of spoons! Now what are you going to do with them?
For every activity you do today, you're going to give a spoon away.
Got out of bed? I'll take a spoon.
Brushed your teeth? I'll take another.
Showered? More spoons!
Gotten dressed? Yep. That'll be a spoon, please.
And the day kinda goes on like this.
The idea is to end up with no spoons, and no activities left to do. If you run out of spoons but for example, still need to take the rubbish out of the house, or a friend calls around unexpectedly and you have to act as a host for a while, you can borrow against your spoons for the next day - but that's going to leave you with less activities available for you tomorrow.. so you need to be extra careful you're not running on empty!
Sometimes, you have to do just that, which kind of leaves you in a difficult position.
Do you continue trying to do everything? Or do you take a rest-day and recover your spoons?
I love the idea of this "Spoon Theory". For me (and many around me) it makes mental illness, pain management & general day-to-day life so much easier to explain. Within my little group of people, if we're not in the mood to talk, we just use the term "I don't have enough spoons today", and we instantly understand each other and give the space that's needed, or offer support if necessary.
I like to think you can earn spoons back, too. Say you ask for help, maybe it's something as simple as you're hurting when you're putting your coat on, or you have a nagging issue you'd like some advice with. Having someone to help you with your coat, or offer a friendly ear could be a way of making you feel better, and thus grasping at a shiny new spoon to spend elsewhere that day.
It's really helped me in terms of having people understand why sometimes I just can't people. Hopefully, it'll help you, too.
