The gas station up the street has a banner advertising AC tune-ups:
"Sometimes 'You look hot' isn't a complement."
Wow, it is hot here. Today's high is over 100 with humidity above 70 and no letup in the forecast for the next few days. I'm camping out in the living room with the AC on.
Unfortunately, I've also got a hot pad on. I did something to my back on Sunday (actually, I didn't do anything unusual, just walk down the stairs from church while carrying John) and now everything hurts. Thankfully, our health plan includes on-campus PT for no extra charge, so I'll be going twice this week. I need to heal quickly - our 3-week European tour starts in two weeks. GAH! Not only that, but John and I will be joining Dan there a few days in, meaning I have a three-leg flight with John and no Dan. BAH!
To add to that, Dan has been having pain while typing - early CT. He's seen a doctor and gotten "Workplace Health" to do a workstation evaluation. He picked up a new keyboard today, he'll be getting a new chair soon, and has been doing stretches and exercises to help. I've told him I'll type for him if he needs it for some of his write-ups; so far, though, it has been somewhat of a blessing because he's breaking up his work-day more.

Yikes!! I'll be praying for you
Actually, a lot of my friends who are pregnant with a small child injure themselves. It's because they are still picking up their other small child and stepping over child gates, reaching into cribs, getting down on the floor, etc., but their joints and ligaments are all loose from their new pregnancy. Also, if one's quads are stronger than one's hamstrings, then that would make one more injury prone because you're imbalanced. Poor you! But I'm glad you are getting PT.
