Simple?

Tried to sit out in the sun today. Problem is, something that sounds so simple is never simple when you have EDS. First, I had to take a shower. This involves one of two options:

1. Wait for Rambo to finish whatever he's doing and help me.
2. Do it myself.

Strangely enough, despite having to wait well over an hour for Rambo to find time to help out, these two options take roughly the same amount of time. Only difference is the second one leaves my wrists completely dead for the rest of the day.

Or at least that's what I thought. I don't know how, but I forgot a very important rule - showering with Rambo leads to sex.

So, the option I took to stop my wrists dying ended instead with utterly dead hips. Aaaand not-so-great wrists. Or jaw. Or knees or ankles even - took too long standing up in the shower.

Next up, I have to get dressed. Again, not as simple as it sounds. Subluxed both thumbs trying to pull clothes on, had to enlist Rambo's help to clip on bras, and spent a lot of time collapsed on the bed exhausted from the effort of trying to find clean clothes in the first place.

So now, it's a good four hours since I originally decided to go sit in the sun, I'm finally clean and dressed and...of course, this being England...the sun is no longer out. Oh well. I'll try again tomorrow.

...Now I'm going to attempt the epic quest that is making some food.
