Ouch.

I've been back at the writing for less than an hour, but my back is aching and the words aren't flowing. Having done 2700 words so far today, I'm going to let myself take another hour off. I wonder if the Robax Max that's downstairs will knock me out, or make it possible to work more?

I'm debating going to work out before picking up Elizabeth, and having my MIL pick me up at the gym. We'll see.

You might want to try picking up an exercise ball and using that to sit on while you work. I use one at work, and it makes it so much easier to sit up properly. Not only that, it makes you use your core muscles, rather than just your back muscles, and so lightens the load on your back and helps your abs at the same time. *grins* The size should be such that the angle of your knees should be just a little more than 90 degrees.

And when you aren't working, Elizabeth can play with the ball. :-)There's nothing like having a bouncy ball bigger than yourself to play with.
