I’ve been extremely on-edge all day for some reason. It is wearing. Paint stripping has had an unintended consequence. My back is more screwed up than it’s been in a long time. I’m not really doing all that badly, but I’m the worst my current chiro has ever seen me, and he got a bit wild-eyed about it and started talking physical therapy and doing another x-ray to see what kind of shape the bones are in (which is acceptable to me because 1.
