Today’s Totals - Aug 12th, 2008

Today was a typical rest day - chores. Actually there weren’t that many today. Just some shopping in the morning and then I made a big batch of chili. I really do mean a big batch of chili. I froze 11 servings earlier (just bagged them up now), put 11 more in, and probably have another 5 to go. These are single servings though (could be worse, could be doubles). Did a little in the garden, but not much. We’re having company (family) on Sunday so I’ll leave the clean-up until closer to the time.

The only real negative point is some wrist/hand pain I developed in the late afternoon. I’m not sure where it came from, or what caused it. It was fine this morning when chopping the veg and stirring the chili. I felt it a big when having a swim in the late afternoon, however, it really wasn’t bad. Tonight when I was ladling the chili into the bowls to freeze it suddenly got worse. We’re talking about 8oz of chili in a ladle, so it wasn’t a weight thing. I put some ice on it so we’ll see how it feels in the morning. I’m slightly aware of it when typing, but only a little. I really hate things that appear out of nowhere, especially this with the right wrist. It’s usually the left one that is a bit dodgy. And even if I feel it’s not good enough to lift… what do I do with a dominant hand I’m trying to rest? Sigh, I’m getting ahead of myself as it will probably be fine by morning.

    Hope the wrist is okay, Anne. Take it easy on it. I love the tomato plant. I sent out my annual beggar email today to all the teachers in our school, “Anyone got any spare tomatoes?” Hope they come through!

    The wrist is actually back to normal. I felt it was aching a little in the morning when driving, however, all the canning done and no pain.
