Clearly, no.
The back is quite inflamed after all the cleaning chores yesterday. It didn't feel like I was over-doing it at the time, but last evening as I prepared for sleep the pain in the lower back became intense. I tried to find a muscle relaxant, but had to settle for a high dose of Ibuprofen to help sleep take me away.
No good deed goes unpunished.
I got through work today by knocking back more IB, and continued to search for painkillers or muscle relaxants to ease the pain when I got back to the apartment. I am sure there are some left from last November. It's just a matter of putting my hands on them.
Now, if I were such a pill, where would I be at this moment? Hm. I just don't seem to get an answer or an insight as to where I would have put them other than the refrigerator or cabinet. But, they're not in either place. Bother.
I hope it's better tomorrow because if not, and if I cannot find some relief, Tuesday at the second job will be difficult. Having fractured 3 vertebrae in my spine in November, I cannot even think of visiting a chiropractor. Rock, say hello to a hard place.
Prayers are requested, if you are so inclined.
And so it goes.

As I sit on a backless stool at the hotel, with an aching back, my sympathy is with you. My stabbing pain is below my left shoulder. I don't take anything for the pain other than twist myself into a pretzel when I go to bed tonight and pray that the pain goes away by tomorrow's shift. I only get this pain when I do more than two days in a row. Next week it's four days in a row. My back is aching already.
You got them. May the pain easy quickly!
Many thanks Lem.
I'm sitting on this backless stool again at the hotel. My back is aching again. I hope you back is better. As Bette said, "Getting old ain't for sissies." I'm no sissie (don't go there.)
I am sending you healing thoughts right up your backside through your spine.
