Well Sunday was a great day of worship at Cornerstone as Pastor B gave a great message and afterwards we headed to the local Pizzeria for a light lunch. The place was empty except for us and another couple. A few carry outs came and went but now its mandatory to wear the face mask except when eating and they did provide a couple at each booth.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines and quiet times but I'm still hurting from this lower back muscle despite using the heating pad which at times seems to alleviate the pain so we stopped at Walgreens for Nancy's script and the pharmacist recommended this new cream which use to be by prescription only so I bought it along with some Motrin and those heat wraps but this morning my back feels worst. So I'm going to see if I can get in to see the local chiropractor for an adjustment. Hopefully I can get some relief as it really felt good later in the evening so I did some raking on the stump grindings and walked around the property but this morning its very painful.
We got rain off and on throughout the afternoon. I used the heating pad while watching some You Tube videos and then the rain cleared out and we got some sunshine. So we headed out to the yards and gardens. We have blooms on the cucumber and squash plants. I ran up on a huge black snake in the front yard. It must be the time of year for them as our Mountain Mom, Helen has seen two at her place in the last couple of day. Instead of killing mine I shooed it into the woods and it wasn't happy, but it made Nancy happy for it to go for now. It was a very healthy one of at least 5 foot or more.
Since we had a carbohydrate lunch of pizza I skipped supper except for some nuts and then a few cherries later in the evening. I'm at a loss of why this muscle is not healing properly or responding so maybe its something more severe. I can walk and do most everything but with some lower back pain which is very painful after being horizontal through out the night. The muscle relaxer pills seem to help with sleeping but last night I awakend around 3'ish and could not get comfortable enough to go back to sleep which is the first this has happened in several days, oh well, LATER
