I hate complaining

| 1 Comment

about my own failing physical body, but I really wish the fraggin' weather would MAKE UP ITS MIND.  Since last Thursday, every joint I own has been complaining, and to top it off, somehow I managed to strain a muscle in my back that makes it agony to sleep lying down, and feels better when I stand up...until I move, at which time it grabs me in a reverse bear hug and tries to drop me to the floor in pain.  My left knee does fine on straightaways but as soon as I try to make a lateral movement, it also tries to drop me.

I did finally manage to get into a semi-comfortable position around 3AM, but damn.  At least the formerly-giant cat* didn't decide to stomp all over me last night, but slept between us like he used to.

I need to find some good stretches and a workout program I can do at home to get limbered back up.  The 20 years I've spent behind a desk are starting to take a toll.

The bottom of my feet hurt. My hips hurt. My shoulders hurt. The only position that would be comfortable would be hanging from the ceiling fan. The doctor told me I need to walk, and walk vigorously. It gets tiring, doesn't it.
