Arms.

Well, no work today.

I went outside a while after I made my last post and tried to get back to shoveling. I just couldn't manage. My forearms hurt too much, didn't want to support the weight of the shovel and the dirt, so I gave up.

I hope the muscles are just tired, not injured. Cheryl seems to think that's all that's wrong, anyway.

Today wasn't entirely unproductive, but close. I did do some research and take some notes for a story idea that's struck my fancy, though. It's an idea I thought about a long time ago -- 1996 or thereabouts -- and I have no idea what brought it to mind now. Maybe I'll actually start writing it soon.

Epsom salts.

Soak in a bath with some Epsom salts. Should make your muscles feel better.

Sounds like you strained 'em. Should be all right in a few days, work them gently from time to time. It seems to help the fibers regain their elasticity.
