So I had my meeting with the Occupational Health Lady yesterday. Disregarding my story of dropping the pan of pasta because it hurt to lift it, she assured me that most of my problems can be solved by changing my posture. She switched my mouse around so it's on my left side (I'm right-handed, so this freaks me out endlessly. I keep reaching for the mouse and slapping my desk because the mouse isn't there anymore) and moved my computer so I'm sitting at a weird almost-twisted angle that makes my knees hurt because there isn't enough leg room under my desk, what with the computer tower, heater and shredding bin there. Finally she told me I have bad circulation.

(She also made me polish my desk. Not sure if that will help anything...)

The cumulative effect of all this so far is: my right arm still aches badly when I use it AND my left hand now aches just as badly because I'm now favouring it. Lol.

In lieu of very much writing, I've been organising this weekend. I've been compiling a comprehensive list of facts, figures, main characters, minor characters, dead characters, family trees, magical powers and anything else I can think of relating to my SoulFire series (my Scarlett books). It's been a lot of fun, since few things entertain me more than making lists and using highlighters, but it's also been surprising. I hadn't realised how much I'd forgotten about Ill-Met By Moonlight until I sat down to do this. Like who died at the end of the book and who killed them (I had totally forgotten this rather crucial element of the book).

Once I've finished Something Wicked I can go through my exciting new bible o' facts and update it. This will be a departure for me from my usual note-keeping method, which consists of scrawling down character names in between Futurama quotes and song lyrics I like.

I found out I'd have to wait at least three months for physio through the NHS, so hopefully I can get fast-tracked through work before my arm just falls off. Something has to give and it may well be the tendons in my wrist...
