Nov. 10th, 2010 02:52 amI think I'm going to try to take it easy tomorrow, very possibly to the point of camping in bed with a book.
This evening, I made it out to do some grocery shopping somewhere other than the store about 300 yards up the street, for the first time in weeks. Which didn't go too badly, though I got pretty tired about halfway through.
But, of course I overdid things, and ended up seriously overloaded on the way home. *facepalm* A clear sign of this: between the heavy backpack, the three shopping bags, and an uncomfortable bus ride home with straps and handles digging in, I wound up with a disturbing-looking crop of petechiae all the way down one arm.

They don't show up too well there, but yeah.
I never had anything like that happen before, but that shoulder and arm are still feeling a bit nerve-pinchy where the edge of the backpack strap was cutting into a couple of tight muscles. I guess it makes some sense that this kind of thing might happen. :-|
Can't help but feel like I ought to know better by now...
ETA: Yeah, now there's a visible bruise right below where the clavicle meets the shoulder. Next time, I put half of what I want to into the backpack.
