I'm a Ghost in a Shell

I don't know how I managed it, but I slept in an odd enough position that the muscles in my lower shoulder and back hurt enough that it's difficult to breathe. I mean, I assume it's from sleeping in a weird position and that I wasn't trying to throw horses in my sleep. Somnambulent livestock tossing is unlikely, but then again, you should never rule anything completely out. So of course I was forced to skip this morning's run.

Which is a shame because this morning was AMAZING. It was 55 degrees - it was actually cool. FINALLY.

We have the windows open and the house is finally airing out. It's always nice to hit this time of year again. Of course, we may be shutting up again later in the week, but we can always decide then. Even if it is 86, sometimes that's not really hot enough to make it too hot in here. Besides, we have ceiling fans. I'll just want to remember not to plan any dinners that require use of the oven.

I just finished some yoga that's helped with a lot of the back pain, and I may spend some time on the foam roller before bed. Hopefully I can get out tomorrow morning and run. I just prefer running on Sunday mornings because the vehicular traffic is less chaotic and homicidal.

How's the pain now?

Don't you love it when you get to an age where you somehow injure yourself by sleeping? :sagely nodding: Ah, good times lol :P Yep, I've been there & it's no fun.

It went away after about three days, but I did wonder if I got it by sitting weird. Then, also probably sleeping weird. I was in the middle of transcribing a journal, so I'd be bent over, writing intently for half an hour or longer at a time. I should probably quit sitting on the floor and writing on the coffee table, or if I want to keep sitting on the floor, get a chabudai - one of those short-legged Japanese tables.

I'm glad the pain is better. Transcribing the journal could've contributed, especially if it's not a position your body is used to.

It hurts when I sit on the floor - & attempting to get up is a whole other issue! I want one of those floor cushions I see in Earthbound Trading in the mall but they're kinda pricey. What am I doing on the floor? The granddaughter insists I sit next to her. She isn't happy on the furniture lol :P
