holidailies 2013: episode 3

Not too much happened today. No further leads on a new place. I just spent the day working and making endless cups of tea.

Tomorrow I'm seeing my orthopedist in the morning, because my left wrist was really painful today in a disturbing way. I'm sure it's not broken (and I'm fairly certain I didn't injure it...though I do tend to run into doorjambs a lot), but stabbing pains shoot through it and my hand whenever I grab or squeeze anything (which made adding honey to my tea this morning an ordeal). At the same time that I hope it's nothing, I also kind of hope it's something, because something can theoretically be taken care of. Though this is a good example of the continuing healthcare problems in this country: I don't make a lot of money, and so I'm always loathe to go to the doctor if I don't have to (exceptions being ear infections and UTIs, because holy crap, those are both painful and I will immediately go in those cases). I even funded my FSA fully this year, but I'm still afraid to spend any of the money, because what if something happens and I need it?

A board I post on does a holiday card exchange every year, and I just got this year's distribution list. I'm excited! I got really cute seasonal cards. I don't celebrate Christmas and I generally dislike this time of year, but the card exchange is the highlight of the season for me. It's fun to get cards from all over the world.
