I'm so sore and stiff that I dread scrubbing the bathrooms. I've been putting the housework off all day hoping my muscles would loosen up. Perhaps I should scrub the clawfoot tub, take a hot lavender bath in it, and then tackle the rest of the list. The danger there is being too relaxed after the bath to do anything other than read, or maybe sew.

Sigh. *bites the bullet* Off to scrub toilets and bathtubs.

Thus far today I have:

• Colored my hair (no more gray, hurray!)
• Changed the sheets on the bed
• Taken Phoebe for her walk

Time to reward myself by reading for a while. But first I need to throw a load of laundry in the washer.
