Winter 2018, day three, 5:20 am. I am in bed, wearing sweatpants & a fluffy dressing gown, with electric blanket on setting 2 of 3. My wool-filled duvet is rated at 3 blankets-weight.
Lower back pain is obtrusive, extensive & ignoring medication. Weather: 3.6˚C with neither wind nor precipitation.
I AM FREEZING MY ARSE OFF. AND GENERALLY UNIMPRESSED WITH LIFE.
