Keanu Reeves is going to be sixty tomorrow, and I am fully unprepared for this!
~
My hands are really painful at the moment, and I wonder if it is a stress response.
I have worked A LOT over the last two weeks, with just two days off in the middle (and not together). I also have not been sleeping well. Anyway, tl:dr version: I ended up accidentally burning myself out on Friday by doing more than I thought I was capable of as well as a 6.5 hour shift at work.
I noticed that my hands started hurting partway through the shift. It got to the point where I couldn't get into a bottle of tomato sauce and had ask someone else to do it for me, because I couldn't grip tightly enough. And, as I say, my hands are still hurting and feel very stiff, two days later.
But I'm totally capable of doing a full time job, am I? [/sarcasm] (sorry, I am still very bitter about this).
Anyway, I've got a few days off, one tiny shift tomorrow, and then next week I am on holiday for a week! \o/ So hopefully I can recover well.

In other, more exciting, news, my new headphones are here, and they are delightful!
Why I didn't just buy these in the first place, I have no idea, but at least I have them now, and they are providing an excellent aural experience!
I did manage to get a refund on the old ones, which was nice, so that covers some of the cost of these. And I ended up getting a partial refund from some clothes I bought (one of the items was out of stock), so that will cover a little bit more, so I can feel a bit less guilty about how much I spent on these ones.
(Who am I kidding, I will never stop feeling guilty).
