Slept in much longer than I wanted to, I’ll blame the OTC medicine. My back, which I aggravated me a little Saturday, and a lot on Sunday, is better. But I spent most of today in a gauze wrapped fugue.
My back was only non-compliant in the bending and straightening. I could lift things. I carried the laundry downstairs yesterday with ease. The struggle was in getting clothes out of the bottom of the hamper and then standing back up, to drop them in the washing machine. I could sit just fine. Took it ease on the stairs, but was otherwise moving around with good cheer. Just the bending. So I medicated and, honestly, I think I would have rather just waited out the muscle tightness than feel as I did all day, until about 6 p.m.
My back has felt more like normal all day, though, so I’ve got that going for me.
But at that point in the day, of course, another beautiful day had turned to evening. So I just continued doing school work. I have now taken all of my annual training, and put about 85 percent of my last class into place. Good thing, too. I have a meeting tomorrow, and all day meeting Thursday, and another meeting on Friday. And, next Tuesday, classes begin.
By the time this new academic year begins we’ve all done some considerable heavy lifting. Back, medicine head and beautiful weather getting in the way of none of it.
OK, back to it. There’s nothing of note here today, and you have my apologies for that. I’ll come up with something more interesting for tomorrow. This, today, has been a five minute excuse to stop staring at days and weeks and PDFs and going blind with the effort, the always in-vain effort, of getting it right the first time.
So let us make our predictions now of how many errors I find when I return to the work.
I’m quite confident it will be more than three.
