Back pain swallows Tuesday whole without salt

I'm typing this on the couch in my apartment, laptop perched on my knees, hot water bottle crammed into the cushions behind me on my right side. I made the mistake of trying to pick up a rolled-up maroon king-size futon mattress without doing whatever it is you're supposed to do about bending with your knees. I think a muscle in my back literally did a double-take and said "No, brother, don't even think about it."

It's got to be the low 80s (mid- to high 20s Celsius?) outside, but the inside of our place does double-duty as a warm-weather sauna. I'm sweating.

Let's see, there's got to be somebody out there having it worse than me ...
