A dozen days into November
Well, hello, my dearies! I expected November to be busy, it's always busy, but the last few days have been more so than usual for whatever reason and it is only now that I crawl out from my hole and emerge to let you know that not only are there many more week of winter but I'm pretty sure my shadow is having much more fun than I am. Good for her, I say!
Let's do this as a list, shall we?
Hands? Feel amazingly much better! Almost weirdly so since nothing changed except that I stopped going to the gym (on medical leave, it's not like I just stopped going). This saddens me somewhat as I really enjoy the gym and miss all my friends there and was rather hoping the gym wasn't a factor. The fact that they started to get better almost immediately after I stopped going was something of a smoking gun that the gym was making it worse. This information is not ideal but I have my MRI later today and maybe we'll finally find out what is wrong. (Fact that they hurt from June to now and only stop hurting literally days before the MRI? Just freakin' typical.)
Typing? I can type now and have been doing it in small doses to try to get used to it again. I'm mostly still using the dictation program because I don't want to push my luck but the nice thing is that I don't *have* to use it which gives me more flexibility. But, boy, I'm out of practice. Accuracy and speed of typing have both taken a serious hit with lack of use.
NaNoWriMo? They'll be more on this later, especially since I never even told you what I am working on (though if you've hung out with me at an in-person NaNo event, you already know) but it's going reasonably well. I'm actually 1k behind for today but I should be able to catch up before I leave for the MRI and then get ahead this evening. My hope is to hit the 25k mark by the end of Saturday, well in advance of the Monday deadline.
Editing of Mistress Novel? Its been at a standstill because of the hands thing but once I am caught up with everything else going on and now that I can type again, I'm going to get back to that with a vengeance very soon!
MRI? Was totally zen about it until yesterday when my dad basically told me that it would be the most horrible experience of my entire life as he's had two of them. Am now sort of kinda freaking out a bit about it.
Rest of life? Going well! Very busy! Doors opening, closing and doing that round and round thing that some of them do on the big office buildings. I'm sorry to be vague but I hate to talk about stuff before it's official but let's just say that life is good and has the potential to be better (which I suppose could apply all the time!).
Anyway, just a little update-ish post from the trenches so you know I'm not dead. How is everyone else's November going?
