What was the most creative excuse you\u0092ve come up with to get out of a date, an appointment, or doing a task? (reach-back to 2013)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n

From November 11, 2013:<\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, and don’t really have a good answer. I try not to make commitments I know I’ll have trouble keeping. My mother has myriad stories of what I’d do as a little kid.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m not that little kid, anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n

A third of the way through this.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

Am I really satisfied with what I’ve done so far? Why do I ask myself these sorts of questions?<\/p>\n\n\n

I do it, because I do care about getting something out of it, personally. I care about the work being quality<\/em>, whatever that means.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n\n

I was being really<\/strong><\/em> kind about my feelings on quality with what was going on at work at the time. The folks for whom I was working at the time, were of the opinion that every schedule could be accelerated with additional resources. <\/p>\n\n\n

As I put it to assembled family recently, five cooks in a kitchen isn’t going to make a single batch of cookies bake five times faster.<\/p>\n\n\n

Time constraints are a thing!!1!<\/p>\n\n\n

But, back to the topic, I’m still having picking something in particular out.<\/p>\n\n\n

I will say that it happens a lot more often now than it ever used to before I was diagnosed.<\/p>\n\n\n

At the same time, my excuses now are very rarely due to just desire to skip out on something. <\/p>\n\n\n

If I say that I’m not feeling up to do whatever, I probably actually don’t feel up to doing it. Fatigue<\/a> is a real thing with MS.<\/p>\n\n\n

So I might cancel out on something someone else wants me to do. If you think that makes me a bad person, whatever. I’ve stopped even trying to count the number of things I want to do<\/em>, just because I’m feeling similarly lousy. <\/p>\n\n\n

So. Short one today. I could write more, but the fatigue actually is hitting some tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
