I just spent the afternoon doing some half-assed basement work. I swept the floor. I moved paper shelves downstairs. I moved a lazy boy from my garage which probably explains the slight twinge in my back. Not pain, but I am more aware of my spine than on a normal day.
I have a chair that is comfortable in my basement, so that's something. In my defense, gravity did most of the work re: getting the chair to the basement. The hard part was getting it into the house in the first place.
I should go take a picture. One moment please.
That's just one corner of the basement. I think the fireplace is too small for the space, or I need to put something above it. I am thinking about a nice mirror or similar.
For some reason I felt it necessary to take a picture of my feet and an errant leaf yesterday:
I feel taller looking at that picture. Then along my walk:
Don't I look thrilled ? I do not photograph well. This was about 1/3 of the way in. I think I'd already spent time crawling around in the dirt looking for a geocache that was 10 feet away from where I was crawling around in the dirt.
Awesome.

My legs are still rather sore. I recommend walking 6 miles for fun if you can manage it, just be sure to keep moving the day after you do that if you aren't used to walking that much in a day. Oy. I felt every muscle when I went downstairs to turn off the lights just now - I'd been sitting and every muscle had seized up.
Had a hot bath and my muscles are happily, much more relaxed.

I have one day of work in the office this week, then 3 out of the office, then a Friday in and a long weekend. Bliss. Can't wait. Excited, all that. For I get to go to Banff for a conference this week and that is a good thing.
I also have to buy some stuff tomorrow for the conference so that will be nice. I like spending money that is not mine. Don't you?
With that, I head off to bed. It's not even 9pm but I am tired and I have a busy week ahead.
