things I have figured out today
why my thumb hurts.
my right thumb started aching, around where it connects to my hand, bad enough that it's sometimes difficult to grip things. I was all ??? until I thought "hmm, have I done something different with it lately? well there *was* that time I drove TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK oh right." not holding a steering wheel for hours on end for several days and applying warmth seems to help!
things I have figured out today
that uh I'm tired.
not sleepy-tired, but exhausted-tired. even when there isn't a lot to do, rehab volunteering is hard work, and I'm very out of shape for it. so tomorrow I'm going to mostly rest up, maybe go to JoAnn's for Xmas ornament supplies and Home Depot for a curtain rod, and then Friday I'm going to GO DO VOLUNTEERING AGAIN yeeeeeyy *thud*
