On Sunday I spent half the day doing laundry - picking the mess out of my closet, sorting them into loads, shoveling the loads into bags, then into my car, then into the washer and dryer at my dad's house. And then came the folding, and then the loading, and then the filing back into my closet.
All of this served to mess my lower back up just enough to keep me in a little bit of pain over the course of this week. I can feel it now, as I sit in my ergonomically-correct office chair. That dull sense that things are misaligned, or that a muscle is pulling the wrong way. Every time I reach for my water cup I feel it, when I stand up, sit down, reach down to relace my shoestrings, oh man, I feel it.
I'm really looking forward to the day when I can spend half of it doing laundry, the other half hiking, and then come home, feeling no pain or stiffness in my back at all. What a great day that would be! (Of course, it would be even better if someone else would do my laundry, but that's another dream entirely!)
