More Musings about Lameness

Sometimes it's the little things that get you down - like having to lay off your favourite pastime because bits of the old body don't want to play...

Ah, now that could be read in different ways, ooops. I am actually referring to my ability to use a PC at the moment. My wrist is still sore after my slip on the ice recently. The snow is thawing out now, but the injuries aren't. My typing is sloooow to say the least and as for using a mouse - well, all I can say is "wimp wimp". 'turts to stretch the tendons over my wright rist (oh yes, and my speelong isn't much better now either)

I could guess that I have aggravated things with my base over apex fandango recently. I might not have broken things, but CTS may be rearing it's ugly head - and that could mean surgery.

Oh well, either that or get me a left handed mouse.

The snow has been here ten weeks to date.

...and it's still keeping my car in the garage. Not that I couldn't get it out, but there are fifty metres of ice, a flat S bend and two narrow passages between buildings to negotiate before I even reach the road.

I think I'll leave it be - besides, a family of mice seems to have claimed the battery bay as a nest... walnut shells and chewed battery matting...

I think I need a cat.

As for the painting world, you'll have to wait, I don't feel up to painting at the moment. Bags of other diversions to keep me occupied.

Doing the ice-scape "Paso Doble Para Uno"

This probably belongs in January, because that's when I did the pack-ice fandango on the way to work. It's quite silly really - it's been snowing and freezing since before Christmas and I manage to get all the way through five weeks of slippery paths only to go base over apex a mere ten metres from the front door to my place of work.

A week later and still no improvement in the sprains, so I had to go to the specialist for work-related injury. By the way, having an accident on the way to work is classed as being work-related, so employers are more sensitive to these accidents. Anyway, off I goes to the casualty clinic and on the way there, the ice-worm trips me again - just to add insult to injury. Oh well, I guess I'm just lucky like that.

So anyway, February will be light on postings because there's not much to say and I even have problems typing anyway - with one wrist splinted, I am back to hunt and peck typing; as for using the mouse, that is more difficult than usual.

See you around soon...
