Erosion

I came to a realization today that I’m kind of struggling with. Here it is: I can no longer clean the whole bathroom in one go.

Before I got sick, I used to clean my whole house at once. Then, I cleaned half at a time, then a room at a time. Now, it seems that I can’t clean a whole room. Cleaning out the bathtub and sink left me shaking and in pain. The floor, shower, and toilet are untouched.

I will readjust -- have already written myself a big note on my white board in red dry-erase marker to help me remember -- but for now I am feeling some grief.
