averygoodun42My body is telling me that today SHALL be a rest day, no matter what my plans were. I don't like it when it springs that on me (even though it has been warning me it was going to do so over the past couple of days). And I'm still not really obeying, as there are things I need to get done, like laundry. Page is out of clean pants. That will not do.
I have a strange, painful/itchy rash on my fingertips that's been spreading, seemingly one fingertip at a time, till now it's on half of all my digits. At least it started the day before yesterday, so I know it's not just a reaction to painting. But it's weird in that it really is contained to the distal phalanges (yes, I know the plural is phalanx) and only on the bony sides.
My right middle finger is also threatening to become infected. I don't know when or how, but I somehow managed to puncture a point under the nail bed. I'm hoping it isn't a sliver, as I REALLY don't want to go digging in there. Hm. If that's necessary, I think Geoff and alcohol will be involved. (On the plus side, that fingertip is one of the few without the rash.)
My body in general is rather achy. Random joints, muscles and fasciae have been making themselves heard, and it's pissing me off. I want quiet, damn it! And I'd rather not just drug the masses into sedation. However, I will if I must.
My back-up pair of church pants no longer fit in a flattering way. I've lost too much weight/thickness for them to do so. (This is both bad and good. I really am underweight, and I'd really like to gain some of that weight back, but it's good not to have a swollen tummy anymore.)
I used the last of the especially lovely tea Santa brought this morning. :-( I had to go and share now didn't I? ;-)
The air filter is loud.
And, bummer amongst all bummers, the caffeine from the lovely tea has kicked in and lifted my mood, damn it! I was enjoying that wallow!
Ach well. Life goes on.
On the good side of things, my PMDD/PMS was pretty much non-existent this month, even without taking any B vitamins! I think I was a little grumpy a few days beforehand, but not enough to even be noticed. So yay! Health for the win!

Date: 2012-01-13 05:01 pm (UTC)Also, I've re-noticed the benefit of airing one's minor complaints. Like my sore throat started getting better almost immediately (within hours) of posting about it here and on FB. I think it was telling my very minor gripes as much as the tea that got me cheerful again. Though the tea definitely helped!
Love you.
