RSI

So, with phase one complete, I have devoted today to phase two. I almost wish I hadn't because by the end of the day my eyes are burning and my vision is fuzzy to say the least.

I know it is just eye strain and nothing actually wrong with my sight as a whole because every time I go to the optician with what I perceive as a problem with my eyes they always tell me that my vision is perfect and that I don't need glasses. The one time I did think I was getting them the optician kindly told me that the "lens" I thought I was seeing clearer through was in fact just plain old glass and nothing fancy.

Whats more I've noticed that my shoulder is starting to ache, and along with that my mouse scroll finger feels like someone is stabbing a needle into it and wiggling it around, constantly.

There we are then, I guess I have a fairly productive day, but at the end of it I've broken myself in several places. I think I may well have to take up Phils suggestion of taking regular breaks when I'm doing tasks that involve a lot of the same repeated movements because if I carry on as I am none of the work will get done as I'll be in a sling, with a cast on my finger and a mask over my eyes.
