Spent the last two days helping Brother's aunt and grandparents move into a new house. Which is, y'know, fun when you can only use one arm. I was *mostly* good about not using it (namely because Brother's mom convinced me to wear my sling as kind of a visual reminder), but I ended up overcompensating with my left arm. >.< That, and today I was dumb enough to try and lift some clothes on a hanger up and back over my shoulder so they wouldn't drag on the ground while I carried them, and ... yeah. OW. OW. ALSO OW.
I will say this: I have never seen so many random people willing to pitch in and help with moving before. We had an entire truckload - the last of the furniture and stuff no less - finished in just over an *hour*. It was rather mind-boggling, especially when most of them just sort of disappeared once the truck was empty. o.O
We stayed longer to help with the actual unpacking, and didn't get home until after 8:30. I sort of vegged in bed for an hour before convincing myself that I could do to bed if I wrote something for my NaNo. It wasn't much, but my word count is now 1734 and I've actually written three days in a row, so. And if I can figure out what happens next, I can easily catch up tomorrow. -Crosses fingers-
* Okay, my shoulder's not *really* that bad, but it hurts more than it has in awhile. The pain is mostly around my shoulder blade, so I figure I tweaked it again when I moved my other arm back. But I'm definitely spending tomorrow curled up in bed as much as possible. I figure it's a good reason to play catch-up on my NaNo anyway.
