Stumbling out of a dark forest in a daze, the artist formerly known as elinors bumps into @Hamsibian “You’re just in time for the new term!” she exclaims. “...if they’ll have me back...” the weary storytelinor mumbles as she makes her way into town Hoping the Pukwudgies still have room for me! Application submitted!

Thank you everyone! Super helpful! I agree, I don't think it is carpel tunnel, mostly because I was a secretary for a number of years and watched carefully for warning signs and it just doesn't feel the way I've seen it described. Thanks for the wrist exercise ideas! I have the perfect weights to use!

Hi! I was at my highest weight at 250 too! That was last September, and I have since lost about 16lbs (took a few months of just maintaining that loss because, Life, and now getting back to eating deficit, exercise, etc.) My current goal is getting back down to my high school weight of 190 (which was about 15 years ago!…

(and they were probably looking at me funny because I'm super short and always walk everywhere like I'm on a mission to save the world!) But here's what I do: smile. Smile at…
