Totally Random Stuff in Which I’m Not Squad

Hello, lovely people of the internet.

I am so tired. I stayed up late last night as the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle sale was ending, answering emails, talking to other bloggers, and more.

Why My Back Hurts. Seriously.

And I’ve had quite the weekend! Keith and I spoke in Peterborough this weekend. I gave my Girl Talk on Friday night, then we spoke together at a marriage day (6 talks altogether!), then on Sunday we gave the sermon.

By Saturday lunch I knew I was in trouble. Every now and then my back goes into spasm. And it seriously went in on Saturday. All afternoon, while speaking, I was in agony. That night I lay flat on my back from 4:00 onwards, except for the time that Keith gave me a massage.

I woke up Sunday feeling fine, so assumed everything was better. We went out for lunch on the way home–and that was a big mistake. My back started again. We had an hour and a half long drive home, and I wasn’t sure I’d make it. The woman I go to for massage had some openings, and I went in, and she made it almost all better. But I spent most of the weekend hurting so much.

When the kids were little I threw my back out a few times, and in that case it was different. I strained a muscle, and as long as I was still I was fine, but if I moved–WHAM!

This last incident I’ve had about 5 times. I strain a muscle, but I feel the same no matter what I’m doing. The problem is that the muscle squeezes. It’s like I’m in labour with contractions. It’s awful.

Conclusion: I need to find more time for stretching and walking and exercising! That’s one reason I’m glad of the time ecourse I’m doing right now as part of the Bundle sale (which is now over!
