It took a week, several phone calls, and a couple of visits to the apartment office to get the dryer vent in my apartment cleaned out. On top of that, my hands started hurting really badly this week. I thought it was synovitis at first (which I’ve had in the past), but then the pain changed and I knew it wasn’t synovitis. Luckily, I had a appointment with my Doctor on Friday, and she thinks it’s tendonitis. Being in pain, dealing with the apartment stuff, and feeling overwhelmed by everything I still have to get done, sent my stress levels back up.
I did manage to get the remaining stuff I had at my ex’s house today, though. I just need to figure out where to put it all and then do all of my laundry. Beyond that, I’m resting as much as possible. I’m participating in the #JustOneMoreChapter readathon on Litsy, and I’m hoping to finish a couple of books before I return to work on Tuesday.
