You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

The weekly report says I spent $9 this past week (just energy, none of the extras that double it...) instaed of $13, and that was including the heat pump extravagance. I used the 'sick cat' excuse for that indulgence, but it was 11 degrees in here before I boosted it to 19, lol...

Popeye the cold makes me stiff, and that causes the pain, so yes it is muscle. But the real cause is movement eases osteoarthritis - albeit temporarily, and when we are cold and stiff we are inclined not to move, so everything gets worse. Just now I am fighting my spinal stuff, I find I am hunching to protect my lower spine and that is the worst thing I can do. So I am trying really hard to find a wall and take a few minutes to straighten up on a regular basis, ' stand up straight girl!' I hear my father say. Being lazy by nature it is important to remind myself, use it or lose it.

Today's project is that blasted winter wardrobe thing. I got halfway and let it slide, the place needs sorting, way too many piles being moved each evening to clear the bed. I feel another op shop run coming on...

I sometimes wish I didn't like clothes so much...
