*grumbles*
My left knee hurts. Rather badly. For the third day now. It's hurt before, too, but never to this level - the last three days have been just ... well, it doesn't matter much whether I sit or walk or lie down, it's just hurting. Stairs are especially bad. It's getting a little less, I think, but grrrr.
Sunday was all achy ... the knee, left ankle, lower back, left wrist. Right side to a lesser amount. It was incredibly annoying. The weather, which has been cold and rainy, hasn't really helped.
First day back at work was ... busy. Got a 17,300+ word job for next Tuesday and another 45,000 words for the end of September, but the first 6000 will need to be done this week (partly with programs I don't have and which are only installed in the suckiest, oldest, slowest computer in the office, where I simply cannot do any work). And I would be strongly surprised if nothing else came up in addition.
So basically I've been back for a day and am already very exhausted - holidays didn't really help, mostly because I never got to a state of feeling even a little bit rested.
The work thing makes me rather glad I started on the Exchange last week already, as I really have no idea how much time and energy I'll have left after work. Not for a single word yesterday, anyway.
In better news, I now have a tablet. Only got around to installing it yesterday and giving it a very brief try before putting it away (can't have it lying around when not in use, not with curious kitties around who love to sleep on mousepads!) - it will take some getting used to but I suspect it'll be fun once I get the hang of it. I'd mostly just like to get into drawing a bit again, for myself. And it should be a help eventually with photo editing, too. (Which also means that mum was showing interest. If I get the hang of it at some point and it appears to be useful, I rather fear I'll have to buy a second one...)
