Whee! I got my pain meds today! I was not arrested. But I did do some harvesting.

My back is killing me. But I did get my pain meds this morning. Hopefully they will not make me sleepy at Guitar Center this afternoon. Today is my longest day, but it's also a day where I get to teach some of my favorite students. The snow peas at Kaiser are growing like crazy. I saw about fifty ready to harvest. I did not plant anything new today, nor was I arrested. But I did harvest about ten snow peas for my selfish little self. I hope others harvest some too. How is your Wednesday shaping up? Were you able to avoid arrest?

No arrests. Feel better and enjoy your snow peas.

I accompanied my husband to see his physiotherapist in the afternoon. His back pain is really bad as well as his lumbar area. Now it's up to me to convince him to do the exercises prescribed.

I hope the meds help your back. If I was there, I'd admire the snow peas but wouldn't harvest any... I would assume somebody in that store planted them. I slept this afternoon, like usual. I'll take another nap later this evening. Pretty and I went grocery shopping this morning.

@TheHorse I've been craving grapes lately so bought several pounds of them today. I'm having some right now.

@thelme55 For the most part one is safe here. But the exceptions are striking.

@TheHorse Really? It sounds scary nowadays to be in the US. Anyway, I am not planning to go there.

I hope your back feels better with the meds. I'm glad you picked some snow peas for yourself. I've managed to avoid arrest so far today.

Yes, luckily. What did you do to your back? Mine started hurting for no reason when I was in the shower..and no clue what caused it. It was just tight, It should have been nice and relaxed in a warm shower. Also, the back of of my legs hurt. Anyway, I have some magnesium spray here which is an anti inflammatory. That seemed to help quite a bit. I also just relaxed for a little bit. I hope it doesn't happen again,

I hope you had a good day at the Guitar Center and that your back feels better. My Wednesday seemed to just whizz by as I was writing more articles,

I picked another three tomatoes off my little bush so that was nice. I can't see any pumpkins forming which makes me wonder if the flowers are being pollinated.
