random thoughts - Day 2,016 (Tuesday) - achin' arse

 The past few weeks have been peppered with annoying aches and pains that make me feel like I'm 100 years old. It started with right side stabby gluteal kind of pain. Then it shifted northward to the right side neck and shoulder. Or more accurately, it was overshadowed by the neck and shoulder situation, because the glute thing didn't actually go away. 

At least the multiple pains had the decency to not act up at once. Until today. Everything hurt. Not crippling, just very annoying. 

On the floor.

When I was young, Mummu would roll my sore back with her wooden rolling pin and it always felt better. More recently, I had the fancy-level membership at Planet Fitness and would go there to sit in the massage chair or lay on the water massage table. The current home remedy of a singleton with no gym membership is to lean on a doorframe and press the offending area into the edge of the wood. At least with the aches on the same side, I could be efficient and press two aches with one door frame like a bear rubbing against a tree. 

It was uncomfortable enough that I didn't go to dance group. There was debate about whether dancing would make it better or worse. In the end, I stayed home and leaned on the door frame, laid flat on the floor, hugged my knees and rolled my back on the floor, and did some stretches. Hopefully, tomorrow it will feel better.
