Passed 135K for the year! Hands still very busted.
The other night, I joked to my friend Deb that since resting my hand didn't seem to be healing it, I was going to try the radical method of *NOT* resting it just to see what happened. 
I was kidding but in all seriousness, I've hit the point where I've given this as much rest as I can afford to take off from work and now I need to just suck it up and work through the pain. I can't rest my hands for all eternity, there is work to be done!
(Search for hand specialist continues. Know why doctor told me last week he accepted my insurance and when I got there was like j/k? Because last week he *did* accept it and they literally JUST dropped it. Sucks. Having a really hard time finding a doc that does accept it. Bleh.)
Anyway, working through the pain: In short, I have now hurt my left hand so badly that I've had to switch back to using the mouse with the right hand which, of course, is making the tendinitis in right bad again. It's becoming a sad, sad farce.
But I have been promising myself all year that I am going to finish editing my Mistress Novel at the absolute latest by the end of October so that I can use November to concentrate on nothing but NaNoWriMo. Considering the fact that I've taken on a bigger role with NaNo this year, I really am not going to have time at the end of Oct so I need to finish ASAP.
(Side note: Strongly suspecting most of NaNoWriMo will be done with voice to text program this year. Should be interesting.)
So, today, I said screw it and made myself do 4 hours of editing. I spread it out over the course of the day so it wasn't all in a row and, yeah, hands are completely miserable but I got a lot of good work in so I think it needed to be done. I'm also not going to be near the computer tomorrow for most of the day so they should get to rest again and recover.
(Represents me, resting my sad little hands.)
Anyone else think I jinxed myself in this post where I said I might finish early?
Still have 14,603 to go before I hit 150,000 which is my pre-NaNoWriMo goal. @#$&* writing this blog post really hurts. I'm stopping now. Pretend I wrote a conclusion.
