My hands, y'all, my hands suck.
For far longer than I should have, I have dealt with decreasing grip strength and bouts of pain. Is it an RSI? Maybe. Is it arthritis? Possibly. Is it fucking annoying? DEFINITELY.
I have to pace myself when I have a lot of sewing as so many of those actions hurt after anywhere from five minutes to an hour depending on the task. Usually crochet isn't too bad and doesn't require a day of rest between working on something. Now? Yeah, that's a no from me, dog. I'm not even going to attempt any knitting for the same reasons. Oh, and typing this today? Uncomfortable, which is a new one on me.
I have an appointment week after next and will have to take it easy for the next few days. As a stay-at-home-parent, this does not fill me with joy, because I feel that I have to justify not working by, well, working. And what does the work require? THE USE OF MY HANDS. *cries* At least there are leftovers for dinner tonight.
