One of the more irritating things in this current round of My Body Hates Me is that the glute spasms, which are indeed muscle spasms and acutely painful, have started occurring when I'm lying on the side room bed reading or whatever. They've been much better overall, what with the stretching I do, so I can't see why lying propped up should invariably lead to conniptions. Especially since they don't happen when I'm sitting on the sofa with my feet on the hassock. But the sofa is in the coldest room in the house and the side room has the space heater. No fair, I say, no fair.

However after record-breaking lows, temps have soared up to the mid-teens with beautiful sunny skies-- light jacket weather which might actually get me out of bed at a decent hour. I had two 1:30 appointments this week and had to set an alarm for both, because I'd happily sleep past noon otherwise. Granted, grey rainy cold days are sufficiently painful that it's common sense to stay in bed where one is warm and reasonably pain free. But then you miss half of the current amount of daylight, and when it's sunny and warm, you miss the glorious fall colours. At a quarter to November those leaves may fall at any moment and some have already done so. Maples, mostly, so that the sidewalks and gutters are awash in deep red. That's the other side of the street. The trees my side, including the lindens and ironwood, remain obstinately green, and any maples about are simply fading to yellow.
