Jenni's new (to her) car

Wednesday

I got up before Reveille to use the bathroom. Then I stayed in bed until after Chris left for work. My hand still hurt to use in certain positions. It slowed me down in preparing for coffee morning. I got through most of the exercises. All the tapping was with my left hand, which started to complain. Afterward, I had to be careful as I cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen. There were a few owwies as I made some mistakes.

Chris came home as I attempted to vacuum. I told him about my wrist. He asked if I wanted to see a doctor, but I didn't want to drive all the way to Tooele just to find out I should alternate heat and cold. After he left, I put on a wrist brace and that helped a lot, although it got wet as I washed dishes. I did more vacuuming. I took it off to take a shower. I rubbed my wrist with DMSO, then laid out in the sun till it dried. Then I came in and put on regular clothes and the wrist brace. I jotted notes for my blog. I called Revonna and we got me on Brian's schedule for tomorrow. I made notes on a piece of paper so I would remember what to say. We also talked about the earthquake drill tomorrow. Not sure what it entails. I did Sudoku while listening to a podcast on pedophiles in foreign aid agencies.

I called Jenni to come over and get some of the stuff Deb gave me. She was all excited about getting a new (to her) car. So she came over. She gave me the markers that she hadn't dropped off with Emily. She looked through the fabric and took some. Then we went out to see her car and all the bells and whistles.

I chose a bunny bag pattern. Then I had to choose two fabrics to make it out of. (The making goes faster than the choosing.) I started cutting with a rotary ruler but my wrist didn't like that. So I drew with a pen and cut with scissors.

I took a break to jot notes and post to my blog. Chris was still gone to the commander's reception. I read articles until he got home. I made tea and we watched one episode of Longmire. Then he went to bed and I stayed up a little later. I decided not to wear the wrist brace to bed. I skipped some of my yogo poses, and went to bed.
