Baseline, Part II

A note about my list of activities.  Everything on the list is subject to my energy envelope.  I find that I fill most of my days with low to moderate energy activities.  But even on my best energy day, I can only tolerate up to eight moderate energy activities.  If I add any of the higher energy activities, that number plunges dramatically. 

Sometimes, I'll piggy-back high energy activities.  I tolerate two high energy activities in one day better than I tolerate two high energy activities in separate days, especially if it's the next day.  It's like serving my sentences concurrently rather than consecutively.

I have pain in my hips and neck always.  Sometimes I have pain in my back.  I get mild headaches a coupleof times a week.  I get a substantial headache about once a month.  My current level of pain is a steady three.  On my worst days, it bumps up to a five.  On a good day, for example right after my massage, it drops to a two.

I'm not quite sure how to quantify brain fog.  My memory is completely unreliable, even if I have it written down on the calendar.  I blurt out the wrong word several times during the course of the day.  I have a hard time finding words, and sometimes my mind just goes completely blank, like a white board wiped clean.  It takes me several uncomfortable seconds (10 or more) to retrieve my thought processes.  Sometimes, if someone reminds me what I was talking about, I can pick up where I left off.  Sometimes it's just gone, and I move on.

Did I leave anything out?
