I'm home this afternoon because I somehow managed to hurt my back again - the same weird pulled muscle thing I had months ago, but on the other side this time. I don't know how I did it, and it's doubly weird since I have been exercising so much and am much stronger and more flexible than I was six months ago (the last time it happened). I have done a lot of heavy lifting, twisting and stretching in the past few weeks without a twinge, yet I just moved wrong last night and "Ow!" instant pain. I slept horribly last night, did make it in to work today but bugged out at noon - I'm more comfortable up and walking around than I am sitting. I'm hoping this doesn't derail my yard work ambitions - I don't think it will, the last time this happened the pain was gone in 24 hours. But right now it hurts to sit, so I am going to take my heating pad, the Lo-Tech Sweat and a movie into the bedroom and maybe even take a nap. If I feel better later I will chase some cat hair around this house, so this isn't a wasted afternoon off.
