I swore to myself I wasn't going to waste my unemployed time the way I've done before.
Time to rest, decompress, and wallow a bit? Not wasted time. Oh, sure, there may be a zillion more impressive things to put on a to-do list, and no one really wants to have to find a way to say "Wallowed extensively for 3 years" on a resume, but it may be something your body and mind needed to do.
I think that means kinda approaching things like a school day. A period for one thing, a period for another.
don't like that either. But with the kind of projects you have - it might be the only way. Which is why I do my list for 4-6 days. With the idea that I need to spend at least two hours in the garden and that although an hour would get rid of most of the shreding , 15 min would make a dent and I can do that . and I don't really expect everything to get done - because I add to the list. the list becomes the ground for me. and for me this means my time is a little more efficent - so I can spend time when matt is home, and we are both off form work either playing , or doing big projects.
It's definitely great to be able to nap when the RSI pain gets to be high. It's been a bit high the last couple days. In fact, I had to turn down a gig at The Brain Wash because I wasn't certain I'd be able to rehearse enough in time due to the RSI. I'm trying something new and seeing a chiropractic neurologist next week. I've had RSI for 10 years now. I don't do as much of what's within my power to do as I should (there are exercises I should be doing regularly and I'm kinda half-assed about it), but even so my case has been pretty intractable. A 7th-generation Chinese Traditional Medicine doctor and accupuncturist said my case was one of the weirdest (in that it was not budgeable) they'd ever seen. I put off my weekly deep tissue massage so I'd be able to put the money towards this appointment, but I was wrong about how long I could do without.
Still, it's nothing compared to some of the migraine hell I read about here.
You may very well be right that I should make shorter chunks of time for some things (for other things I need more time because I need to get into it...like studying Mac OS X). I didn't get out in the yard today but twice this week I've pulled weeds for 10 or 15 minutes.
I just wanna snuggle you, Spidra. I shall think snuggly thoughts in your direction as I head off to dreamland.
yes, napping is important - but so is going for a walk. when you can . two friends with RSI. they were both told to walk a lot. the more your blood moves, the more your body heals.
heading in the general direction of bed... sleep well, rest well, and peaceful minds.
You are so sweet! Sleep well. As is my recent usual, I think I'm going to be up at least a couple more hours.
Yep, cardiovascular exercise is important for RSI. Need to get the blood flowing, 'tis true.
Toto has mega itchy ear this morning. I looked around on the web, and it could be allergies. I'm trying to decide if I should try to have him seen or not today. Poor guy.
Poor Toto. Hope you get it figured out, vw.
