Life comes to a standstill

My situation is immensely frustrating at the moment. This morning I triggered a back strain, doing heaven-knows-what, and despite the good intentions with which i woke up this morning I have been able to do hardly anything today. Now that I have a reasonably clear idea of what I would want to do as my next painting project, I have not had a response to my request for a model. The weather continues to be cold and wet, so that the seedlings running riot in the conservatory still can’t be planted out. (The forecast is better for the coming week …. if my back permits me to take advantage of it.) My back prevents me from spending a long time in front of the computer, so that a large administrative project I had lined up is also back on the shelf. The most productive thing I’ve been able to do all day is a crossword in The Guardian. I know that I’m a very impatient patient with any infirmity.

Ah, well! Time for another pill! I just hope that things will all be better tomorrow.
