Radial nerve compression follows over use. Apparently lots of women have to adjust their sleep position because so many of us curl our hands into fists and then tuck them under our chins.
Perhaps you will feel better after accomplishing the move. In the meantime, stretching and resting will be helpful. Try hugging a pillow when you side sleep. Wave your arms and wiggle your fingers, rotate your shoulders and turn your head from side to side to get loosened up.
Hope the techniques from the hand therapist help out.
Oh, right, it's pi day!
Hmm, I have some pastry in the freezer. I could make something, but it's probably not a good idea to make a pie when I'm sick. Last night I got chicken wonton soup from the place around the corner. But right now all I want is cinnamon toast.

Co-worker: Brings up the fact that 45 was in town yesterday, did I know?
Me: Rant affirming my awareness and expressing my degree of pleasure at his presence.
Co-worker: "I like him; he's funny."
Me: Tries to list facts and statistics for why that's WRONG.
Co-worker: Eyes glaze over, turns back to monitor. "He's never done anything to me."
Me: Point out that he's a well-off, middle-aged white dude. "He's not amusing; he's DANGEROUS."
Me: Return to my cubicle for some exciting
*headdesk, headdesk*

What an asshat. Congrats on not punching him in the neck.
ION, an acquaintance is ranting on FB how, as a teacher, she can't support the students walking out today because they are choosing to miss out on instruction that is vital (VITAL!) to them becoming educated members of a democratic society.
Someone pointed out that what they're doing is *exactly* what it means to be members of a democratic society, and Acquaintance said "Not if they have to miss class to do it." Uh, WUT.
"Not if they have to miss class to do it."
Even if this were a valid point, most schools are supportive of students who walked out today, so nobody was missing anything. (Apparently teachers don't want to get shot either! Who knew??)

I did ask her what she thought of teachers/administrations that are supportive of the students that walked out, and she said "What I teach is so fast-paced that the students can't afford to miss 17 minutes of it." I want to ask what happens to kids that are out sick, but I'm just letting it go, because her statement is ridiculous enough to stand on its own. (Seriously, 17 precious minutes out of their entire high school career is going to torpedo their future success? Ain't nobody that good of a teacher, sweetie.)
