How I’m feeling today

Yesterday I was fairly rough on myself. I was non-stop from about the moment I got up until we crawled into bed. I did all of my normal Saturday chores, plus completely washing and then painting yet another wall. I knew the second I was laying flat on my back I was in trouble. (For the sake of my mother’s worry gland, I feel the need to clarify here. I did not fall and discover myself flat on my back. I simply mean when we got into bed that was my first choice of position.) I did get back up to take some ibuprofen, but that was only but so helpful.

SO, today I’ve got some serious upper back pain, which in turn is making my hands hurt pretty bad. We went to a concert last night, so my knees are hurting a bit from the standing and walking (and to think, I wanted to wear my boots! I’m glad I opted for the comfy running shoes instead!), as are my feets.

Plus the standard “Damn, I’m tired.” and “Damn, it’s cold.” Don’t forget the sore boobs. A plus, I’m incredibly congested (Say what you want about Virgina being in a drought. We live on some of Richmond’s remaining marshland, and when it’s cool but still incredibly humid, our entire house becomes one large mold spore. It was why I wanted to get that last bedroom wall washed and painted – most paint is rather mold resistant.), but almost by magic, my face isn’t hurting too terribly. I’ll take it.

Late night follow-up: Well, big surprise, I did more work today and I’m more sore tonight. The SUPER hot bath I took earlier helped a lot, and I’ll take more ibuprofen before we go to sleep.
