Due to the weird new work schedule and my inability to know when enough is enough, all of the joints in my right hand feel a little wacky, especially in my thumb and index finger and wrist. I suspect it's a simple overuse thing--at the local almost-daily, where I'm filling in this summer for an editor out on baby leave, I spend 5 hours a day with a mouse in my hand, futzing with layout and copyediting. At home, because I am a moron, I spend even more time abusing that hand with knitting and even more mouse-work as I surf the webbage. As a result, I say simply, ow. It's starting to feel like bone-on-bone, which is bad-on-bad, which is not to be confused with blonde-on-blonde, which is another post for another day.

As a result, I need to take a break, rest the offending digits and hope that this is a passing thing. So, this weekend--no knitting (feh), no typing, no random surfing. If I owe you email, sit tight. It'll happen.

This getting old thing sucks donkey butt.
