i'm kicking my ass

[frayadjacent]

I spent the last 12 hours vidding.  And now my lower back and legs ache, but damn if I didn't have fun, and I've got a near-full timeline to boot!  And the wrists are fine -- a lot better than they'd typically be after a day of work.  I don't think I've ever vidded this long in one stretch.  I'm feeling quite pleased with myself -- we'll see how I feel about the vid itself in the morning.  In the meantime, time to step out of the apartment for the first time in 24 hours.

I don't want to jinx anything, but I think I might be figuring out how some people manage to make more than a few vids per year.

Oh, yay! Great to hear you're having fun, but do take care of that body of yours - I think a robot replacement is still a few years from being an option :/ And I'm sure the vid will be great!!

Yay vid farr! Such a great feeling. (:

Yes! I don't think I've ever mentioned it, but I have chronic mild lower-back/leg pain (since I was about 3). It is really helped by stretching, which I didn't do yesterday or the day before. So it was pretty run-of-the-mill, not like the way I abused my body a year ago and injured my wrists.

Still, I eagerly await the robot replacement.

I read on your DW that you've been sick -- I hope you feel better soon!

THE BEST.

Sometimes I think vidding and health are in direct competition. I swear I do my best vidding when sleep-deprived which is... really not healthy, and does unpleasant things to my sick time allowance.

(Hee, I never noticed your journal title before.)

That sounds really sucky, but glad to know it's not as bad as RSI.

So ready for that robot body!

Thank you :) I'm definitely doing better, but not quite back at full speed.

Yay!

Vid! Vid like the wind!

Oh no for your sick allowance! Heh, I think I still vid best on a decent amount of sleep. But whatever works...I guess?
