Maira’s Blog - I’m back (sort of)
hey guys, I know I’ve been away for a long time and you must be wondering what happened
so here it is:
I’ve had an RSI (repetitive strain injury - that thing you get when you work too much in the computer) and had to stay away from work and the computer for the last 2 weeks
(I’ve spent the whole time at home, doing physiotherapy everyday, applying ice packs on my wrists twice a day, stretching 3 times a day and sleeping with hand braces - not fun)
I’ve missed you all so much! :~) This site really helps me get in a good mood and sometimes it was hard without it (ok, I’m getting very emotional, I know)
I won’t be spending as much time as before in the computer so I won’t be logging here very often
at least not till I get 100% better
I have to take care of myself or else this will develop into a chronic condition (according to my doctor)
plus, my home PC broke, so I’ll have to “steal” my brother’s PC
(I’m at work now)
ok, enough drama for today
sorry if this post wasn’t very cheery
I’ll try to catch up with some posts and check the replies to my last blog post now

hey Brice! I’ll see if I can use my brother’s PC this evening (before he gets home) to call you
I’m at work right now and skype is blocked here (”the great firewall of EDS”, lol)

hey Cyn, my colleague here at work showed me this little software (you can download it at http://www.workrave.org/) that helps remind you to stop and stretch when you’ve spent too much time on the computer.
It even suggests some exercises. I’m using it right now and it really helps.
It’s good for everyone who does or doesn’t have RSI!
