Out of spoons

Open morning at school this morning... my first 3 days in row at work for 18 months. Things have been much better since I went officially part-time at the start of September (rather than still being on a phased return and pushing myself all the time to get back to full-time).

Was more or less fine until about half an hour after I got home. Exhaustion then hit me in a way it hasn't for a while. Felt physically sick, had trouble focussing on anything including walking straight! Took myself off to bed for a couple of hours but wasn't right for about 9 hours!

I've come a long way, but there is still a way to go. I ran out of spoons!
