Another weekend is coming to a close but you know, I'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow.  Our heatwave is due to be over and this next week is supposed to be cool and rainy.  Yeah, this is the same weather I bemoaned in February…and March…And April, May and June…but after a heatwave, nothing is more welcome than a thirty degree drop in temperature and some cooling off rain.

This weekend has been spent lying around and, um, getting stuck.  My particular muscle pull/sprain/ouchiness is right at the crossroads of a few muscle groups–the muscles that help me move my head, roll over and reach up over my head.  I've been downing Advil and doing the ice and heat thing and it seems to be healing slowly but surely.  And using frozen cubed potatoes for an ice bag? Is so not as good as using frozen peas. Take it from me.  Another important lesson learned: to get the cat to give you an impromptu backrup, slather your shoulder area with Vaporub, throw on a shirt and then lie down on the couch on your stomach.  If it weren't for the feline drool soaking through the shirt it wouldn't have been an unpleasant experience at all.

Tomorrow is supposed to be chock full of activity.  I need to do some grocery shopping and return roughly fifteen pounds of books to the library.  I think I'll carry them in using my other arm.
