My back isn't happy

Why is it that when you try to do something good for your body, one of the parts rebels?
I'm not in a lot of pain - just twinges.

I've altered the way I sit in this chair and in my bed when I do my praying/reading/journaling. I'm avoiding any kind of reclining at an angle. That seems to be helping.

Yesterday, Rachel, Buddy  and I walked to the produce store and to the groomer to make an appointment for Buddy. I still went walking with Dave later even though I'd gone past steps and miles, but I like spending time with him. He stayed out later than me.

I'd thought I'd walk Buddy to the groomer today and walk home, then drive to pick him up. The rain changed my mind. Buddy didn't even want to go get in the car, so trying to get him to walk wouldn't have worked.

And the thought of walking down to pick him up went out the window because our crockpot blew a fuse and I had to deal with that. It turns out, the crock pot is shot - the plug was showing metal. So I transferred the pork roast to the roaster and all that together took some time.

I talked Rachel into going walking with me and Buddy came along - it was a nice happy walk - he even was in no hurry when the rain started!

I'm down to 1500 more steps for the day - hopefully, I'll get that at work!
