Friday Is A Treacherous Time

[jennythereader]

Body: My left knee Both knees hurt like hell. Also my left hand hurts anytime I try to grasp anything, and my head feels like somebody stabbed me in several places with a ice pick. Advil isn't touching any of this. I think it's the cold.

Reading: I'm still working on Founding Brothers.

Hearing: The Overthinking It podcast

Wearing: Today's perfume is BPAL's CHIMERA From their Bewitching Brews line. They describe it as The fiery, volatile scent of cinnamon, thickened by myrrh, honeysuckle, and copal. This is another of my favorites. Sweet & cinnamon-y and beautiful.

I'm also wearing some very cool wool socks from sockdreams.com. I'd link to them, but work seems to have decided that the website is "R" rated and blocked it.
Edited in from home: These socks, in plum. They are nice and warm, but just like most of the other wool socks I've ever worn they're a hair looser on my foot than I like. I'm actually hoping they'll shrink just a tiny bit in the wash.

Etsy find: A really lovely shirt

Tonight's Project: I'm taking tonight off. Maybe Sims, maybe just a hot bath and a book.

Project Follow-up: I got a set of canisters for Mom's gift, and now I'm done with 95% of my shopping.

My sympathy on the knee pain. I hurt my left knee in July, and I'm still working on getting it better. Sometimes I limp about like an ancient arthritic granny. Other times I can walk normally. I try to take the advice of one of my past doctors: Don't limp; limping adds unbalanced stresses and can make things worse.

Plus, watch your hydration. Joint pain and headache (icepick style) can be caused by dehydration.

Feel better, please.

The knee pain is semi-chronic. My knees are put together wrong, and just hurt sometimes for no obvious reason at all.

Dehydration is a good theory for the headache though. I try to drink water, but I know I don't get enough.

There are times when I think all knees are put together wrong.

And to make you feel a little better, some earrings n stuff to look at. Here
