Life really sucks when you really need that first cup of coffee before you
are really up to assembling that first cup of coffee doesn't it?

My thumbs are behaving right now, but I've certainly been there.

One thing that irks me is that while I love to read and could read 20 hours
a day, I can only hold a book for a little while at a time.

I've taken to getting large print books at the library. Believe it or not
they are often lighter than their small print versions because of the
thinner paper they use. And I can read them without having to get them just
the right distance from my eyes.

I miss doing needle work. It always was relaxing. I know better than to
try to crochet or needlepoint, but am tempted to try some of the new knit
yarns and bigger needles.
