after starting to do some exercises the last two days, basically a hybrid of situp and lower back stretch, my pain level is reducing. i also took some antihistamine last night to get better sleep. i woke up 3 times, out of dreams, but i managed to sleep from 9pm to 6am, which is pretty good considering i probably only took half an hour to go back to sleep after the two dreems.

in the last one, before i decided it must be time to get up, i was thinking about how i'm going to arrange things in the downstairs room when the current guest is done and goes off to wherever she's going next, i'm going to go to the Decathlon sometime in the next week or two, and buy a bunch of those puzzle piece foam mat squares, and get enough so that i have about half of the room covered in it, and i'm going to sleep on it as well as do stretches and resistance exercise. hopefully i can find stuff that is like 1" thick, it will also insulate me against the ground, and it will be relatively easy to just pick them all up and hose them down, mop the floor.

and yeah, i have a stand-up desk, so a few segments under in front of it as well and start standing more. if my core strength is good, it should be comfortable to stand for like 45 minutes at a time between doing other things and sitting down.

it's impossible to be comfortable in your body without core strength and flexibility.

anyhoo, time to get on with the morning. cat litter needs to be emptied out and i need toilet and then i'm gonna fry up a big beef steak for breakfast.
