Chores Day

Today I finished editing Solid Foundations, and while it's not my FAVORITE of the post-HH one-shots, it's definitely solid. After all my edits it came out to 17,903 words, which is shorter than some of my recent one-shots but kind of in-between the really long ones and the shorter ones. I'm happy with it.
Now I'm working on Nightlight, and after Nightlight comes Put Your Hands On Me, and then that's the end of the post-HH one-shots and I'll be transitioning back into the post-SS ones instead. I already have four finished that just need editing, I think, but before I tackle THAT I need to write and edit Going International, since it got kind of shoehorned in at the last minute. =/ BUT SCOTTISH MONSTERS, THOUGH!
The last couple weeks I've had a huge patch of my inner right thigh that has been absolutely KILLING ME, even though there's been no bruising or swelling or even redness. I highly suspect that I have an abscess because of my Hidradenitis Suppurativa, but I've been avoiding going to the hospital because if I go to the ER and tell them "my leg hurts" I'm going to be the lowest on the list and I'll have to sit there for two fucking days until I eventually see a Doctor.
Anyway, the last couple of days the pain has been subsiding so I'm hoping whatever's going on is going away, finally. But in the meantime I've been limping HEAVILY, and that's fucked up the ankle/knee/hip on my OTHER leg so now I'm just in pain everywhere because my ribs and back are still being jerks, too. Blegh.
Yesterday I rearranged the shelves in the library/cat room. It took me all afternoon and I almost died (because of my ribs and back especially) but I got it done. The first thing I had to do was empty (almost) everything (books) off of the wooden shelves and get Mom to help me move them over about five inches. Then I had to empty the first set of black plastic shelves and unscrew them from the wall to move THEM over five inches. This is all to make room for the NEW set of black plastic shelves, which I then had to assemble and screw into place before I could put everything back on the shelves again.
I pinched my thumb putting together the new shelves and ended up with a big blood blister that I subsequently popped, so my thumb is sore now but that's a little thing. And now all of my binders fit on the shelves, and I even have spare room for FUTURE binders, too! Also, when I put all my books back on the first set of shelves I actually ORGANIZED them! So. Success! But then I died a little because EVERYTHING HURT. Everything STILL hurts.
At some point today I need to get the towels down on the floor under the rug that my computer table sits on, I'm just trying to keep the legs from making further furrows into the carpet, since I drag the table back and forth so much. I'll probably do that once I'm done posting this entry.
Also, my Internet just cut out. Goddammit.
