I have been hurting for several days, but some stretching and gentle &#8220;adjustment&#8221; put me back into my &#8220;normal&#8221; range.  Yesterday it was making me nauseous.

Sometimes it be that way.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve got pickups and home stuff to do.  I need to get moving by mid-morning, and I should be done by late afternoon.

That has serious implications for prepping too.<\/p>\n<p>Food for thought.<\/p>\n<p>Stack some stuff to make it easier, or to compensate.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another week of winter.
