the_rckI woke up between 3:30 and 4:00 this morning and didn't manage to get back to sleep before our alarm at 5:30. When I woke, I had somehow ended up mostly sitting up against the pillow that's my backstop for sitting in bed with the laptop. I normally sleep with no pillow under my head, just something under my neck to support it.
I'm not sure if I fell asleep in that position and didn't move or if I somehow worked my way into it. The main things keeping me awake after that were my anxiety about today's appointment and my sinuses starting to complain in a way that might mean I'm getting a cold. I'm still sniffly and a tiny bit congested, so I'm leaning toward the idea of a cold
I've got a longish to-do list of things I want done by noon. None of them are likely to take very long, but keeping moving is hard. My first priority was my PT. I stepped back the hand weight exercise from 5 lbs to 3 lbs because three days of not doing it seemed like a thing that might require that. The fact that 3 lbs felt challenging makes me think I was right.
A couple of the exercises won't be doable tonight or tomorrow, so I want to get them in twice before my appointment. I've done once for all five.
My hands are doing better. Certain movements still hurt, some in different places than before, and I still need the thumb braces, but I'm not getting increasing resting pain over the course of the day and not having so much in the way of pain from jostling the hand. I'm tentatively calling it a win. The decision is still up in the air and depends on what happens as I do more and on how long it helps.
Yesterday, I had an appointment downtown. I returned a few things to the library, including everything I had that was due tomorrow. I've still got things to pick up and a couple of thing due Sunday, but I wanted to avoid us needing to go down there both days. It's graduation weekend, and downtown and campus are packed.
I had lunch at Totoro. They seated me at the bar because they didn't have empty tables, especially not just for one person. All of the staff who know me complimented me on my haircut.
I think I have a bus draft of one of my exchange fics. I'm letting it sit as an AO3 draft right now, but I'll probably post it before I go out today. I have time for editing. I wish I had a bus draft for my other exchange fic, but I don't think that will happen this morning. I have too many other things with more pressing deadlines.
