New laptop+ wrist updates
10 years ago
Thanks to some extremely amazing friends, we now have a properly functioning laptop here in the workshop and wow, I didn't realize how badly we were needing it. Tracking of projects should work a bit better now (for the past 6 months everythings been done via cell aside from digital art. NOT RECOMMENDED!)
It'll take a little time to get used to it, get things converted over, and what not. I'd really like to get a Trello going for easier updates and management. All work (spooks, digital art, fursuits, taxidermy, jewelry, computer management, shipping, emails, etc.) are all done by one person so I get spread thin easily.
Now for the wrist! We've been monitoring it through various tasks and exercises and the general consensus is this:
Average work load requires 1-3 days or recoup or light work if it starts to hurt.
Heavy/rush work load requires a week or so of icing, brace, and stretching/KT tape.
I'm trying to keep a balance of the average and light so I can work daily. Therapist has told me that if I don't pace myself, I risk doing permanent damage or potential surgery.
Lately my left wrist has been twinging on off occasions since its trying to pick up the load my right is doing. If I want to keep providing fursuits and other services for everyone in the future, a steady work time must be done, whether I like it or not.

I hope you feel better and things get better for you guys :)
You don't want to be a 25 year old with arthritis like me, do you? :P (but seriously sweetie, I found that rubbing Vicks Vaporub on my wrists after a warm soak does wonderful things to reduce swelling)
