Does one errand actually tank your whole week

if i grocery shop, i know my hands won’t work the next two days. gripping patient files during consults becomes impossible. my rheumatologist says my labs are fine.

my hands disagree. so i do the errand anyway - groceries are groceries - and accept the payback. but i’m realizing i don’t actually know how to decide if something is worth it.

does anyone calculate this before you leave, or do you just do it and manage what comes after? how long does recovery usually take you?
