Happy Valentine's Day

Yesterday I attempted to post my Blog from my phone.  It won't post.  It also didn't save as a draft which seems pretty weird too.  If I can't get it to send soon I will rewrite it on the computer.  This doesn't bode well for my blogging from the trail though.  It is nice to have learned this ahead of time I guess.

It was difficult to get out of bed this morning because my back hurt so much.  It took a while to stand straight.  I did some careful stretches and eventually went to work.  I also applied ice and heat at different times.  I haven't overdone the Naproxen yet, but I have done the limit twice.  I am not taking one before bed tonight but leaving it right next to me to take in the middle of the night or before I get out of bed just in case.

Work was challenging at first but eventually my stretching while working paid off and I was feeling much better by the time I left for the day. So the things that are a bit more drilled into me are how important it is to stretch and how utterly important stretching is and making it into a routine to bring with me hiking will be.

After work I had a nice visit with a friend and that, as well as finding my heating pad and some modern medicines, are today's happy things.

Live, Laugh, Love selfie for Valentine's Day.
