Stiff muscles today!

I suppose that I am not the only one on myLot with some stiffness in the shoulders and back today, but it is unusual for me. Yesterday, to deal with the visiting leaves in my yard, I mowed them away. Then Anne had a plant she wanted dug up and it was stubborn, so took more exertion than expected. After that, I had to take the yard waste to the big dumpster down the street.
I am glad that I did all that while the sun was shining since we have rain (again) today. There is a sun break right now, so I had better get the guest Chihuahua out for a walk.

Sound like you got a good workout.
We were supposed to have snow overnight but it didn't start snowing until this morning. But it's so wet it's not sticking and right now it's more rain than snow.

Snow? I hope we get none of that here in western Oregon except in the hills and mountains.

@JamesHxstatic Yes, snow. It's been raining but we are supposed to get more snow tonight. Next week it's supposed to really cool down. Daytime highs are not supposed to be in the mid 20s and the nighttime lows in the mid teens. No snow forecasted, though, for next week.

@RichardMeister That is way to cold for me, hoping we have a wet, mild winter.

She is pretty cute alright and the leaves are in the back garden. I will take it easy until three PM and then it is two hours of ping pong.

@allknowing She has been spoiled here for certain. I will miss her when we take her to Portland tomorrow (sort of).

She is tiny for sure and probably won't get bigger. Not a breed I'd choose.

@JudyEv She is far better than I expected really, very sweet and quite intelligent, but she does bark at other dogs and people when we walk. She lacks training, I am sure.

@JamesHxstatic Now you've said that I can confess I don't really like the breed at all. I didn't want to insult anyone before but I find them mostly yappy and snappy and not particularly attractive. But I'm sure there are exceptions. :)

Sounds like muscle rub and a warm shower is in your future. At least you got a lot of things done, that is great! You deserve a day of rest for sure

Being in the sunshine might help with the stiffness, if any of that is true. (We think it is) Hope today was a better day.

@JamesHxstatic It never happens, I cannot imagine what I did to wake up with this problem. Today it's a bit better.

If that happens often, a new pillow may help.

That is rough weather you're having. We have a cold snap predicted for Monday, maybe even bit of snow that won't stick. There is a better pic on the last post. She was not scared really, but had just woke up from a nap.

What an adorable doggy. Hope you feel better soon. My hubby has an aching back today and can't shovel our snow and my sciatica is stabbing so I sympathize on the aches and pains.
