Morning Stuff

Yesterday I stripped and remade the bed and today I have a muscle-type pain between my shoulderblades. This is a very odd place to have a pain! The sheets I put on are queen-size, which is the size of the bed but seem to be a very tight queen-size and require a lot of stretching, pulling and swearing on my part! Actually, I don’t know if that is what made the area between my shoulder blades hurt but it seems likely. I also folded up the quilt and put it away and dug out the summer bed cover.  {Yes, I know summer is almost over } This morning I am going up and down steps to the basement loading and unloading the washer and drier.

It rained last night and there was some very dramatic lightning flashes and thunder rolls. Fred’s son-in-law was in our area over the weekend and came to see us which was nice. He travels a lot and was very interested in my Kindle. He was going to put it on his wish list for Christmas, he said. Anyway, the thunderstorms were very obliging since they died away just in time for him to get on a plane and go home.

Ok, the timer just beeped at me so time to take a load out of the drier and put the second load in.

Until later…

That is the same place that I always have pain. Hope that you only pulled something and didn’t herniate anything. I hope that you feel better quickly.

Rhomboids. That’s the muscles between the shoulder blades. Or maybe your traps, depending on how high up or down you mean. And yes, reaching forward and pulling back could pull on them. Sorry, I can’t help myself. 😀

Be good to your body and try not to do too much to strain it today! I hope it’s feeling better. (((Hugs)))

Cleaning and making beds is more of a work out that people realise. Hopefully, it is just a minor strain.

Ah I get aches and pains in strange places these days myself. Hope it feels better.

I knew there was a reason to put off making the bed… There are deep pocket fitted sheets – they are made for the thick mattresses and all the mattress covers…

Pulling tight sheets on IS hard work! Maybe you should see if you can schedule an extra massage, if the pain doesn’t subside in a day or two! :o) !! hugs, Weesprite

Ouch!! I hope that pain goes away soon. I don’t know about it being the end of summer… although the calendar says it is, the weather in North Bama says otherwise! LOL!

RYN: My marriage has actually been over since 2004 so I am pretty well adjusted to that, however, I don’t deny being much more needy in this situation than I typically am. Still, I have so many men interested in me that if I was just looking to be loved and validated I would be fine with any number of them. The thing here is that issue for issue and ideal for ideal and religion and sense of humor, everything matches between this fellow and myself and I have never encountered that before in my life. Thanks to his online writings I know way more about him than I should at this point and I think that is creating an unpleasant situation in that I feel like I have known him much longer than I actually have. I certainly realize that I am acting a bit nutty. I am trying to slow myself down and I think this feedback from people who aren’t me (or even my mother who adores him) is very helpful and is why I decided I needed to start writing about it. I really appreciate your input. Thank you so much.

Now is the time to fear.
