I was working on a set of leather mittens the other night. The final two art workshops I'm facilitating at the community centre nearly fell through, but evolved into a set of dual mocassins and mittens making workshops. I ended up sitting up sewing until two or three in the morning with that leather. Didn't notice my hand cramping up, until yesterday morning.
My tendons are all crippled up. I gotta take care of them for Tuesday. Shitty part of that, I've got to use my hands for everything I do. Cooking. Carrying my groceries home. Trying to work on my bussel and regalia. Getting my computer to work. Even writing this message requires the use of my hands! Mother fucker!
Even if I just avoid all that stuff and play video games at home. I'd still be using my hands. I'll hope it heals up on its own, and try to go easy on it.
