My Everest…

The weekend is upon us and I am still flared up still in my elbows but in my hands and fingers  as well.   My fingers are sore from typing but even just something simple as pulling out the stems from cherries they ache. So instead  I just wash the cherries up and put them into a bowl stems and all.  They can be removed as they are eaten.

Everything doesn’t have to be perfect is what I have boiled this down to.  Have my standards been lowered?   Yes but not just from the standpoint of the cherries it’ just overall low.   The greater the pain I have the lower the standards get.   The more annoyed my hubby gets because he picks up my slack.  Perhaps if I can just rest my hands for a moment then it will be better but even that is hard because they are my hands and just like you they are always in use in some way shape or form so I will see what I can do about this new issue and see if we still have it later on today.  A bit more rest is helpful the arms and shoulders are a bit better but the elbows are still not the happiest nor are the hands and fingers.
