bjornwildeAnd we've rain here in the SF Bay area! Loving it as I've really missed rain and fog and dark mornings. I also harvested more ground fruit and made more apple juice/cider and am cooking up a batch of apple sauce with the left over mush.
What I am not enjoying it nearly throwing out my back. Yesterday I was sitting on the edge of the tub helping the youngest wee one use the potty (this is really just keeping her company but whatever) when my lower back spasmed for no apparent reason. I tried to stand to stretch the muscles but my back was having none of that so I ended up on the ground with my back flat on the bathroom floor. This mystified the wee one and amused my wife who came to my shouts of help. There was talk of cameras but I was able to stand and foil this.
Today is better. I am almost able to stand straight. I would likely be able to stand straight if I had been smart and followed advice yesterday instead of just icing/heating the area and sitting and reading all day. This morning I did the foam roll trick and have avoided sitting for long periods and my back seems much happier. I'm a little nervous about work tomorrow but I will set my watch for half hour countdowns and make myself get up and walk around.
Anyway, this means no tags for me today (for my Milliways friends) but hopefully tomorrow I will be back to them.
