Ride, ride, ride, little pony, ride

I've managed to hurt my fucking wrist so I'm typing one-handed. I don't even know how I did it - it's my left wrist, the one I don't use for tennis ball throwing, holding dog leads, masturbating or anything else I might have injured myself doing. It's been bad since yesterday morning, but it was even worse this morning - it was throbbing in agony halfway up my hand and down my forearm even when I was just resting it in my lap, and my left hand is so weak I can't even lift a fucking cup of coffee with it.

I slathered it with ibuprofen gel which dried all sticky, got dog hair stuck all over it and didn't help much, so then I slathered it with Deep Heat and strapped it in an elastic bandage, which is helping a bit more - either that or the hot & cold tingle is simply being an effective counter-irritant, I'm not sure. It's pissing me right off, anyway. It's bloody hard to roll cigarettes like this, apart from everything else.

I'll probably stay off MSN today because of it. It's too frustrating trying to carry on a conversation one handed - I can't hunt-and-peck nearly fast enough.

I find I have some sort of psychological block about actually leaving Mum's and staying at the flat. Frustrating and odd, after wanting my own place for so long. Part of it is not having a TV there - I might rethink this in the future, but at the moment I don't see how I can afford a TV license and cable TV (and it'd be pointless without cable - there's nothing on the terrestrial channels worth switching on for) And I can't sleep without the TV on - I've been like this since John died. I can live with being alone, but I can't live without some sort of talking going on around me.

But I bought speakers for Charlotte last night, so she can play DVDs or radio stations properly, and I'm taking the dog beds and contents of my bedside table over this afternoon. I think that's my last excuse gone. See you there, folks...

G - will mail phone number the moment I can mail it from there. Same goes for anyone else who wants it.

I saw a very cheap microphone when I bought the speakers, too - might get that on Monday. MSN can be set up so you can speak into it instead of typing, can't it? That might be fun...
