Enforced Boredom

So I had my travel vaccinations this morning, and I've been avoiding doing much today because it was suggested I may have flu-like symptoms or a sense of numbness or general strangeness of feeling in my arm (but, I have been assured, it isn't a problem as long as I can still move my fingers.  Comforting, really).

It is a good thing I took their advice, because about an hour and a half after my shots I became suddenly clumsy - and not just in my arm either.  It isn't painful but I have been walking into things, tripping over perfectly flat floorboards and knocking things over instead of picking them up.  For the majority of the day I have been sitting still, not reading because I keep dropping my book, not writing because I currently cannot hold a pen, not using the computer because it is frustratingly slow to type (fifteen minutes for this post so far) and not watching TV because it was downstairs and I don't trust myself yet.

Do you know how boring that can be.  With all the wonderous things to do, I am left bored as anything and exceedingly frustrated.  I am even more frustrated now because it seems I am still unable to strike a single key at a time and I'm spending more time fixing mistakes than I am typing - this is an experience I haven't had since roughly Grade 4.

I give up, that's enough for this post.  I will vent all the feelings I currently suffer at a later point (probably, if I feel like it, maybe).
