My body is being a total dicwad lately. It isn't letting me sit and do nothing but crafting all day! Being the fucker it is, it isn't letting me use the computer as a break! Nope, I've got to go do SOMETHING that uses my wrists in a different position. I've had what is probably some form of arthritis in my hands since I was 17, and it has moved from just a couple of knuckles to my entire hands and wrists. I keep crafting because I'm addicted to it and because I KNOW that stopping is BAD. Fought my way up that particular mountain once already and I'm not doing that again.
What I'm finding is that reading isn't the same as it used to be. The Talking Book program is AMAZING! I adore it and more I adore the headaches being gone. I am finding it hard to just sit and listen to a book. I never minded just sitting and reading a book, and I'm having a hard time pinpointing the difference. Is it really just that my hands need something to hold? TV has always been an excuse to fiddle with stupid-crafts (i.e. crafting I don't have to look at or count).
It is weird. I'm discovering after all this time that I am a fidgeter. I never realized that. It is somewhat amazing to me still what happens when life forces you to tap the brakes.
