For those of you who were wondering, I went to the Bishop Wellness Center on Monday for my weird hand/wrist/arm/shoulder pain. I told the nurse about how it'd been bothering me and everything, and she decided that I had probably hurt myself doing poi initially, and that continued poi (in addition to my regular typing and dishwashing for work) had ( Read more... )

I am tired. I shouldn't be tired. I've been getting 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night, going to bed no later than 1:30. Why do I feel exhausted today? I've had barely any workload and my first tests aren't even until next week; what's tiring me out?

In other news, remember my post about my hand and arm aching? Well, it never really stopped. ( Read more... )

There's a line I love from a Modest Mouse song, and it goes, "Everything that keeps me together is falling apart...." It's always the first thing that comes to mind when I'm feeling sick or I'm full of mysterious aches and pains ( Read more... )

I just got bitchslapped by my purple rolly chair ( Read more... )

Just finished cleaning the kitchen -- I'm talking dishes, scrubbing out the tubs in the sink, scrubbing the drying rack (which is nasty as hell and hard to clean), cleaning the wall behind all the small appliances, getting all the crumbs and junk out from under the toaster and microwave (which probably haven't been moved in years), scrubbing the ( Read more... )

At wiffleball yesterday Daniel and I ended with a twenty-minute to half-hour game of catch with a softball. It's been years since I've thrown a softball. It's been five years since I last played on a team and I think three years since I even played catch. Needless to say, my upper body was not used to throwing a massive ball anymore, and this ( Read more... )

Either the random ache/pressure I mentioned a few hours ago is a sinus infection, or my very first migraine, because it's persisting and getting stronger and is now encompassing a larger area of the right side of my face. It started out as two spots, one by my eyebrow and one at my cheekbone, but is now swooping from my eyebrow to my cheek and ( Read more... )

Last night I had a dream that ended up quite frightening me. I dreamed that somehow, I had dislocated my right knee horribly. I was in Maria's apartment and I stumbled over to the couch and fell onto my back, holding my leg. The knee was swelling up something awful, turning purple and mushy, but at first I was quite cavalier about it, thinking ( Read more... )

You know something annoying? Last Wednesday night, I was frying french fries in hot oil in a skillet (alas, no deep-fryer) and when I was putting the second-to-last batch in, I got splashed with the oil on my hand. A week later, the two burns -- a dot the size of a keyboard O on my ring finger, a half-inch long mark that looks like a gash on my ( Read more... )

A few weeks back I was complaining about having done something to my chest in step aerobics. It's back now, and has been since Friday night, when I was in the bathroom contorting to make sure that part of my zombie rags didn't fall into the toilet (lol); I turned to one side and bam, all of a sudden the weird ache was back. The English language ( Read more... )
