Missing an opposable thumb. Feel like a cat.
I haven’t posted in awhile, one, because I haven’t had much to say. Since I work at Big Brown, my work days are getting a bit longer with all the shipping going on (I HATE peak season). Two, as of Friday, I am wearing a brace on my right hand (and I’m right-handed, so convenient) to disallow use of my thumb. I’m super injury-prone anyway, but I’ve been tearing my my body at Big Brown for almost 13 years now and I ain’t as young as I used to be. Things ache more and don’t heal as fast. I’ve been ignoring a pain in my wrist for a few months now, but it got to the point I finally went to have it checked out. It’s not horrible, but it’s getting worse, and Big Brown take your word for it. It’s a good thing I’m not a doctor, because I thought it was tendonitis in my wrist. Turns out I have a sprained thumb. Apparently if sprains don’t get to heal, they stick around. So typing isn’t fun. And you should see my handwriting.
So now I know how my cats feel. I can’t even put a bra on without a production. I’m supposed to try not to use it at all and then tomorrow I get to go see how well I can hurl around boxes.
Anyway, that’s that. I was nominated for an awesome blog award, and I promise I will get around to appreciating that in here. But for today, I’m going to rest, and let the boyfriend do the heavy lifting while I watch football.
Hope you get to feeling better soon and KUDOS to sticking with a job for 13 years!
Ahhh your cat looks similar to mine! Too cute!
Is yours as loud?
When he was younger he rarely meowed, but now he meows when he wants food, a treat, attention or just because he’s doing something cute and doesn’t want you to miss it. *glances over at cat and floats into clouds of happiness*
Wanna trade? Mine sends me into clouds of OMGWHYDONTYOUSHUTUPCAT or MYALARMHASNTGONEOFFYETANDYOURDADDYISGOINGTOKILLMEANDYOU
I came to your blog through a Google search of “opposable thumbs”–which I undertook in prep for MY post today on how depressing it is my cat doesn’t have them. Turns out, there are some great minds out there, and do they think alike. Nice work!
From one great mind to another, thank you!
