The back still quite painful, but shifted a little so that it no longer feels tight and seized up, but does feel more painful. Despite more stabby pain this felt like a positive development somehow.
A day of small annoyances otherwise, some at work (a bad edit of something I’d written), some from myself (realising I’d bought a 1.5 litre container of fabric softener instead of laundry detergent, ptui), some from friends (I’m trying to set something up with a group of academics, and there is no one day or time that suits everyone, while two people steadfastly refuse to fill out the Doodle poll despite making enthusiastic sounds).
Continue to race through The Bear, last night watched three episodes (granted each about 30 minutes long), the closest I’ve come to a binge since the time I nearly shot out my synapses by watching all of Neongenesis Evangelion in a single weekend, with perhaps 3 hours of sleep total.
