i know exactly what you are feeling...i find it difficult to get into a place where my whole house is neat...I have never left dishes out either, and the more resolve I have about getting them done, the longer it seems the dishes remain...

and not only the dishes, but the litter box, the toys of the dog on the floor...the dining room, the bedroom...grrrr...

it seems like my best time is between 9 and 12 in the am...any other time I need to lay down, or at least rest with my feet up...then it seems that I am drained and need some protein to get me going again...you might try a protein shake or cheese sticks, or yogurt, something to get you going again...

i stumble around in a fog a lot of the time...seems my mind gets lost in whatever it is I am supposed to be doing, only to realize many hours later that I have lost time again...grrr...that is what I wish I could do better, be in better control of my parts...so at least I know what is happening more regularly...

do you think the pain flares happen more when the weather is unstable where you live? I know for days in advance when a major storm is coming because my joints will all be tender and sore...epsecially this last storm...we got 7.2 inches in 5 hours...it was horrible...oh well...at least I survived it without going absolutely bonkers from the pain...

and last but not least...at least i dont think so anyway...is the memory thing...i dont know what to tell you to do about that...I have the same problems...and I don't know where its coming from...there are times when I am quite lucid and bright...other times when the bulb is dim from overuse and I can't quite see what I was going to say...focus factor is supposed to help...but taking concerta has helped me some in that dept to keep me more focused and level headed...

i find if i pace myself, and not run from one thing to the next, trying to get in as much as i can, but doing either one room at a time, or a couple of rooms at a time, i find i can accomplish more...now if only i could remember where I put things I would be so much better!!!

and remember, don't take yourself so seriously...your dishwasher will survive being used...and your dishes will thank you for giving them a bath!
