Middle age health thread for fatties

[Dr. Medulla]

A combination of lots of shoveling and smashing ice in the yard—a blast of sudden rain left a pond in front of our driveway and sidewalk, and I had do dig a trench in a snowbank so the water could get to a sewer drain; it was … work—plus that fall I took has left me pretty beaten up. I've got a decent lower back strain going on, so today I embraced the molten miracle of tiger balm. It's the only salve for sore muscles that's ever worked a damn for me. There's about a 30 second period where it hurts like a fucker, and then it's pure ahhhhhhhh.

Damn, man. Take it easy on yourself.

It's a terrible concession to accept that winter is getting tougher on the body. My ambition is to get back to some kind of exercise tomorrow because breaking that routine is rough on my mental well-being.

Sadly, I can relate to winter getting tougher on the body thing.

There are definitely days now where I'd trade our house for a condo.
