Argh! Missed yesterday's workout due to a phone emergency. Literally. My daughter's phone died and she's beginning her second college semester and needs her phone. Did I mention that all of her classes are online? 
After several of unsuccessful attempts to resurrect her phone, I gave up and we drove the hour+ to town. They couldn't fix the phone either. So now we each have a brand new phone and a brand new (and bigger) phone bill. Yes, I got one too, since both of our old phones were in dire need of updating. At least I had the day off yesterday so it all worked out.

@MadamMeow thanks. I wasn't planning on the expense so soon but needs must.
Is it Friday yet? I think all things technical in my world are falling apart. At work we couldn't make any outgoing calls and the fire alarm kept going off. I would have preferred the incoming calls not to work
. A visit with my mom and I ended up fixing some stuff on her computer. It's never something she's done, of course, things just 'happen' and 'disappear'.

The last couple of days were interesting. Thursday I took Mom shopping and then did some emergency drainage work around the house as some big storms are in the forecast. I wasn't feeling well and it was late by the time I was finished so the workout didn't get done. Friday (yesterday) I really wasn't feeling well and called in sick. I must've picked up what's been going around school; sore throat, tightness in my chest, aches and fatigue. Today I am feeling much better, not 100% but nearly so. I thought a little exercise would burn the illness out of my system.

It's a very rainy day, so I'll stay inside and do some chores. Have a lovely day bees!

Glad that illness was short lived!
I'm guessing your "emergency drainage work" likely constituted a workout itself, no?

It was a typical Monday at the school office:
cleaning up after a very ill kindergartener, disinfecting everything and then having yet another sick student arrive....I even repaired a student's glasses. One of the urinals in the boys' bathroom overflowed. Did a payroll audit. Attempted to figure out why we get four telephone bills each month. A fairly quiet Monday.

It was a mellow day at work today except the students keep passing the sick bug to their classmates and teachers. 
No rain again today and it's a much needed break. I'm starting to feel like a mushroom from all the precipitation: pale, damp and kind of soggy.

The sun was out today! Unfortunately I think it melted some of the students' brains! I gave out 3 ice packs in 40 minutes, wrote up two head injury reports (both minor, but required), answered a barrage of sales calls (#$@%!!), filled in for someone on yard duty--which was fun, as I rescued a banana slug and relocated it out of harms way. In other words, a fairly normal day.

Yesterday my back was really hurting, so no workout. I'm scheduled to get an injection soon, we'll see if that helps long term. I hope so!
27 Jan workout:
PT Exercises - 15 min
Power HIIT - day 2
Back & Core - day 2 This seems really easy so far; I'll give it a few more days but may have to find something more challenging.
Next I'm prepping food for tomorrow's football game as we'll have some friends over to cheer for our team!

The exercises in B&C are effective. And they will help with back issues.
The workouts are all very short, as it's meant to be an add-on program. You could up the intensity by doing longer holds, more reps, if you feel the need to do so. But I would urge you not to discount this one just because you're finding it easy. If you're having to take days off from working out due to back pain, I think this program could be a big help to you.
In any case I hope your challenges with your back heal up soon!

@Laura Rainbow Dragon @Mamatigerj @Fremen @Anek @Deadoks @CODawn @Mianevem @NancyTree@Laura Rainbow Dragon yes I'll stick with the Back & Core because day 4 was really hard! Having a strong core is so important for back health!
So yesterday was busy with football but I did manage to squeeze in a workout before our friends arrived. My back is feeling better! Thanks for the healing vibes everyone.

Wow what a crazy day. Lots of kiddos out sick. Wrestled with questions like: Who's going to sub for our sick bus driver? Who's idea was it to have a fire drill today? Who's wiping their boogers on the bathroom wall?! 
On the positive side, we had a staff potluck and the theme was salad bar 
so I had a great lunch.

I go for an injection in my lower back tomorrow...not sure if I will be able to workout or not but hoping that this will alleviate the constant burning pain.
Have a brilliant evening bees!

@Deadoks Thank you!
I had an injection in my sacrum on Feb. 1st. It hurt a lot and my left leg was numb for most of the day; which is why I was advised not to drive or work. But the next day I felt amazing!! I can stand up without the 'zzzt!' of pain. Not wanting to mess up a good thing, I waited another day before exercising. On Saturday the clouds parted long enough for me to take a nice long hike. It's been months since I've been able to do this without pain. I feel so. much. better!

By the way, the Groundhog said there would be an early spring but from my window all I see is rain and snow showers. I think the Groundhog lied.

Yesterday I had to go to town and got home late. It was snowing hard over the pass! I was able to do my PT exercises but that's all. It has been an emotionally draining week. There was a family emergency Sunday night and I'm still dealing with the repercussions. Mentally exhausted. I said no to an afternoon meeting and came home to do my workout.
