No pain, no gain

Yesterday was way, way too hot for September, especially since we don't have air conditioning. Normally that wouldn't be terribly troublesome during the day because it's air conditioned at work, but yesterday I was stuck in bed because my back was tired up in knots. I had this random burst of energy on Monday and went on a wild cleaning spree in the attic, which involved moving several boxes of books up and down stairs and being hunched over for several hours at a time. I woke up on Tuesday and tried to get out of bed; I got as far as sitting up and wound up spending 20 minutes stretching just to be able to stand up. I realized I was exhausted also, because I had written up several times from being sore and stiff. Even after I made it downstairs and downed my requisite cups of coffee my back was a tangled mess so I called off work. Standing for 8 hours doing makeovers would do me no good, so after I called off I hobbled back to bed and stared at the ceiling in frustration until I fell asleep.I was mad because I still had all that energy left over, but my body was not cooperating. And it was hot. So that's how lupus ruined my day, yet again.
