I spent the day wincing from the pulled muscle on my left lower back. It doesn't bother me except when I move! If I sit still and don't twist or turn, I do alright. But movement causes pain! So I didn't move a lot today.

Person who was to start work on the patio called and postponed the activity. He'll be here sometime this week unless it starts raining. I ended up doing my laundry.

Listened to O's speech tonight on the state of the union. He seemed to take a non-confronting approach. He didn't harp and blast, but called for cooperation and to come together for the sake of the people in the country. He used stand-ins as examples--people who were there and had needs from the system. He put a face on nearly every item on his agenda. Sometimes the face was difficult to look at--especially the soldier who had been wounded in Afghanistan.

Tomorrow would normally be a yoga class. I'm not sure that would be good for me to try given my pulled muscle. Will assess again in the morrow. Need to make final choice of the grandkid's birthday item. Her party is this coming Saturday! She will turn five!

I'm chomping my way through the MI-5 series. So far, the early shows were well done--they're tight and sharp--no flab on any of it. Will be interesting to see how the writers maintain those attributes through the several seasons.
