A Crappy Day
I'm not sure what the heck Bobi was talking about in the comments of the last post, but I'll assume it means he wants an update.
I have tendonitis in both of my wrists. I have since I was a freshman in high school, where a year of typing class and learning gymnastics for cheerleading were more than they could handle. Everyday symptoms include random popping and trouble picking up a full gallon of milk. However, over exerting them leads to some real pain, which is currently what I'm suffering from. At work, I have to lift big mirrors and art pieces all the time. DS is also getting me to climb a lot. My wrists are protesting. To make it worse, I only have one wrist brace, which means I have to alternate which wrist will feel relief at work. I'm hoping that when I go home this weekend, I'll find my set at Mom's house. Building cars at Toyota while I lived there was definitely a cause for sleeping in braces.
Also, I think I'm getting arthiritis... my fingers have been stiff for days. Maybe it's just my wrists' fault? I don't know, but it sucks.
And then there was this morning, when I got stuck in a repeating dream that revolved around the sudden death of my mother. I do not feel good today. I don't want to go to work. I don't want to finish making all this stupid jewelry. I'm mad that I can't get the Special Edition Word Whomp badge on pogo. I'm dumb with words.
I think I need a hot bath. I don't have any comfort food here... so I'll pull a Monkey and say, Please send comfort food.

wow. heather, can i come too? bubble baths are the best on crappy days. that or a nice breeze, a hammock and a thick quilt. maybe some hot chocolate. with mint. and a good book with some music on in the background, the birds chirping above...
that's it, i'm organizing a breakout from my job. move out!
helpful hint: glucosamine is the only proven help for arthritis. it builds back cartilage or something. but you have to take a certain amount of it each day for 3 months before it starts working.
I have one of them tubs too! Yes, Heather and Kimberlina are right, you need some R&R. Incidentally, I have RSD (repetitive stress disorder) and I know what you mean of the pain in your hands, wrists, and forearms. sucks.
I have Ben & Jerry's mint oreo, would that be good?
Don't delay getting your wrists & stuff looked at some more. It never pays to put medical stuff off, & blow it off & tell yourself it's nothing. I have learned this in my many years!
I am sending you thoughts of loving support.
I am making you a grilled cheese sandwich with the cheese of your choice and some soup....then comes the wrist massage and the warm beverage.
thats a drag, hope you feel better. It's cool you know how to pop, can you also lock and roll around on a card board box?
sorry to hear you had a bad day! i wish you was here i would fix you tuna helper and ice cream with milk in it for desert to cheer you up.tomorrow will be a better day:)
I have some Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey icecream and a bowl of banana soup. That OK?
I'm with everyone else who said R&R and glucosamine. It works for me.
Well, I'll say this. If all those hot tubs and ice creams come in the mails, I'll be one fat, boiling girl... :)
Mo, you can bring grilled cheese whenever you come over. Or just make it here.
Harry Yak.. wow. I had no idea. I think you made DS a little jealous. Thank you.
Dad: I use the keyboard.. I just can't figure out all the words.. stupid game.
Everyone else: I love you too. But I'm too tired and too headachey to write out individual thanks tonight. So, sweet dreams everyone. And thank you again for your warm wishes.
oook. I also have tendonitis and arthritis in my finnegars. I know the pain you are talking about. Quite frankly, the wrist braces are the best relief. You could try acupuncture. I've heard that works.
I know what you mean, though. You just get a bad kick-off to a day and it's like, "Oh, hell. Let's just scratch this one and start over tomorrow."
