quick update
for some reason (probably having to do with having too much free time and thus being on the computer a lot) my hands and wrists are very sore and a little swollen.
this means i should not use the computer, or write with a pen or pencil, or draw, or colour in a colouring book, or do crosswords, or take notes about french classicism, or play final fantasy vii, or pretty much do anything other than read and watch tv and do exercises for my wrists. i am doing some of these things anyway, but since they make my wrists hurt more when i do them i'm trying to be sensible.
it would be easy to be depressed about all the things i can't do but that would hardly make me happier, so i'm paying attention to the nice things about this, like getting to read many books (i'm almost done with the one on English Gardens!) and pet my cats and watch cooking shows.
