I don't know what I've done to my wrists, but they hurt like the dickens (where did that phrase come from anyway?). I thought maybe I was suffering a little bit of carpel tunnel as it started in my right mousing wrist, but today they both hurt.

At least I'm not alone with my wrist problems. If you watch The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, you know that Stephen Colbert recently broke his wrist and has started the WristStrong campaign to raise awareness of of wrist injuries. He even has a WristStrong Bracelet available to show your support. You can buy one on the Comedy Central site and proceeds go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, an organization that assists injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center.

I may have to get one of those.

Well, fortunately I had a better day today. Not great because I get really irked dealing with stupid people and they seemed to be coming out of the woodworks today, but I didn't feel like killing anyone. The heat must bring out the stupid in people.

I've got to get some more $$$ coming in somehow. I'm not cutting it. At this rate, I won't be able to go to Vegas in November. My car is the only thing keeping me from going back to pizza delivery. I want it to last until the payments run out, y'know?

Today sucked.

I'm not going to rehash all the crap that happened today. I'm pretty sure from my understanding of the law of attraction that I went into this week expecting the worst and I've manifested it.

I will say that I have either caught the cold going around work or I am having a bad reaction to the mosquito bites I got yesterday playing with the new powerwasher outside. I totally forgot the bug spray first.

Also, my right wrist and forearm are killing me. I can barely mouse, which stinks because I want to work on my template design and get my graphic design site up so I can hopefully get some more clients and make the money I need to get to Vegas. Checking my email when I got home from work almost brought me to tears.

I just got up from a 3 hour nap (thankfully Marcus came home), so I hope that doesn't hinder my ability to sleep this evening.

I've got a dull pain pounding in my temple, so I'm going to go take some ibuprofin and scrounge a bit of leftover meatloaf for dinner. Remember when meatloaf used to be the cheap meal make? Yeah, with beef at $2.50/lb, I guess those days are over.

Ok, I said the other day we needed a powerwasher and today Marcus bought one! I cleaned the wheel wells on my car, washed crap off the outside of the house and since it was an electric model I even brought it inside to tackle the soap scum in our shower. w00t! That thing is cool!

Man, I had the WORST headache when I got off work today. Actually, it started around noon. Smart me would've gone upstairs to get Advil out of the First Aid box, but I kept putting it off. Of course, I got stuck working on a mind numbing project and ended up staying an hour extra. It wasn't until 5pm when I finally got home and took some pain relievers. I took to my bed to let the stuff take effect and next thing I know, it's 7:30. We had a really big rain storm apparently and I didn't hear a thing.

Well, Marcus will be home soon. At least the headache has receded for now. I've got a bit of sinus pressure, though. I'd better go see if I've got any sinus stuff about.
