I may have carpal tunnel or tendonitis. Until the pandemic starts to settle, I will not be making any appointments to see my doctor. Very stupid, I'm sure. However, this issue with my right hand has gotten me thinking about trying something different. I won't be trying this at work, obviously, but I can give it an honest enough shot in my diary. I learned to print and then write with my right hand when I was a child and I never tried with my left even once. I've made little attempts in the past and the effect has been unearthly. When I alternate hands every couple of sentences, it looks like a completely different person's been messing with my pages.
The other day, I decided to start writing whole entries with just my left hand. The effect, especially where the first entry was concerned, made me think of someone who's recovering from a stroke and has to relearn the art of printing. The second entry is a bit cleaner and less muddled. I will keep at it for a while and see if I will eventually reach a point where my printing is almost as good as what I write with my right hand. That or I'll get tired of writing like this and switch back to my more skilled hand. One day in the future, while I'm typing this diary out for my vision's sake, I'll catch a glance at my sinister work and wonder what happened to me in my 40th year.
The school division is going to Code Red in the New Year but only for two weeks, if I understand the situation correctly. That's for the 7-12 crew, at least. The 6s are still undecided. Nothing like a ton of uncertainty for the teachers. The 7s and 8s will have a remote chance of learning something but the 6s might be coming to school during that time. Until the vaccine makes an appearance, the uncertainty is real. 😷
Now for some generic awesomeness.
BYE.
