Cooler spring temperatures

[schneefink]

It's March and we had ~15°C today, so my flatmate shut off the heating (because of the noise) and it's cold in my room, but I don't want to turn it on again because it's not that cold and I'm still somewhat afraid of finding out in a few months what the heating costs for this flat are. Bäh. I should at least put on a sweater or something.

Also because when I'm cold I don't sit relaxed, and that's even worse than I previously thought. I've had tendonitis problems for years; nothing helped for long and since it was only ever a few days every month or two so I got used to it. I did regular wrist exercises but they didn't seem to help much either. But a few months ago I realized that it always got much worse before exams, when I'm generally tense, so I started doing regular shoulder stretches, just a few minutes every evening, and ever since it's been a lot better. It's been a few months now and I've had barely any wrist problems :) I'm still being careful, of course, no use getting overconfident, but I think I've identified a big part of the problem. Progress.

Now stop procrastinating on studying self

Thanks! I finally turned the heating back on :)

It's awesome that you found stretches that help!

I don't want to be too optimistic too soon, but so far so good :)

I get headaches when I have a sore neck so generally I try to fix that first.

Best of luck feeling warm.

I should also do more back exercises probably... but I'm happy I manage to do as little as I do regularly.

Glad you figured out something that helps you, and are sticking to it!

So far so good :) Idk why it took me years to consider my shoulders might be relevant to my wrist problems.
