Ouch!

Uh-oh. I have a medical issue that is wreaking havoc upon my writing. My pointer finger on my right hand is sore and the tendons feel "weird," like they're stretched out or something.

It's been building for a couple of weeks, and it's now reached a point (get it? point?) where I can barely type! Not good for a writer. And the pain is probably a contributing factor in why my post yesterday was so short.

Alas, this one will be, too.

I am going to give myself a couple of days off from revising (and cut way back on my computer time) in the hopes it will heal up and feel better. I'm leaving for Mexico in a couple of weeks, so that will be seven or eight days with no computer, therefore no typing.

I suspect it's some kind of repetitive strain injury, no surprise considering I spend between 12-14 hours a day at this computer. I hope that cutting back some, coupled with the week in the jungle, will get the old pointer finger back in shape.

However, there is some good news. I slept much better last night! Yay! So maybe it was an isolated incident after all. I hope so.

More later. Gotta rest the old finger right now.
