I am very tired, and can't focus on the work I need to do. I sat down and drew up a time table that will get me back on track with both work and academics.
Today I walked approximately 7km. I couldn't bring myself to do the walk home. For some reason (probably the same reason my right wrist is all messed up...yes, it's still messed up, but I think wearing the brace is helping. I've been able to write and type tonight, so I'm going to keep wearing it while I'm sleeping and walking), my right leg/hip/lower back is extremely painful. I can't even lift my leg to cross it over the left one. After tonight, I'm relocating to the living room. Also, tomorrow I'm going to power through it and do the walk home too. It should take about 2 hours, hopefully a little bit less. I don't have the proper shoes for walking that far. My boots are from Payless, and they let in the water and they squelch when they're wet. My socks are always soaked. I'll probably catch pneumonia or something. I might steal back my brown leather boots from the roommate. They are mine, after all, and at least they don't let the water in...but I can't tuck my pants into them because I have fat calves. Whatever. Also, I think my should is messed up because I carry every heavy thing of mine in a shoulder bag rather than in a backpack. So, tomorrow, I'm also going to purchase a backpack.
Fell off the diet wagon a bit today with the chocolate. I'll regroup tomorrow - slippage is allowed.
What I Ate Today:
- apple (1 pts)
- bowl of Special K (3 pts)
- 12" roasted chicken sub (12 pts)
- Mars bar x2 (10 pts)
- bottle of Ginger Ale (5 pts)
Total: 29 pts

Well, I bought the brace, and so far it's helping. We'll see how it goes for a week or so, and it if stays the same or gets worse, I'll go see a doctor about it.
I've been trying to work on my Work Term Report (it's due on Friday), but I just can't get into it. I neither did nor accomplished anything during this past work term, and I'm out of practice at making crap up for academic consumption. I WILL do it tomorrow though. Hopefully I'll have some spare time at work to get it started.
What I Ate Today:
Lunch:
- pizza slice x 2 (12 pts)
- can of Ginger Ale (3 pts)
Dinner:
- piece of chicken x 2 (6 pts)
Total: 21 pts

So, I think I'm developing carpal tunnel syndrome. This is decidedly not good, since hand/wrist pain prevents me from both taking notes (necessary for school) and repetitive mouse use (necessary for work). Once I'm done posting this, I'm going to stop my computer usage for the night and pick up a book (shocking, I know). Sadly, the internet has essentially replaced books for me, which, considering how much I used to read, is probably not the good thing. Lots of computer use = the aforementioned potential carpal tunnel, and also the ongoing depletion of my eyesight. Seriously, my hand is...swollen and discoloured? Uh oh.
Also, I'm still off the diet wagon. I had to finish the cookies and Pepsi this morning - I couldn't eat them all last night, which I see as a good sign. I'm still trying to get myself ready for Monday. 11 km of walking is more than I ever ever ever do. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate. I could actually count the points I used today...but my hand hurts so damn much that I don't think I will. I'll come back tomorrow and add them.
I'm using the mouse with my left hand. Maybe carpal tunnel syndrome will render me ambidextrous? Not likely. I'm going to go ice my wrist. This sucks, because I just noticed a bunch of problems with my layout that I want to fix.
eta: I called home and spoke with my Mom's sister, who had carpal tunnel syndrome. I'll be going to get a wrist brace from the pharmacy tomorrow.
