on back pain and cleaning the apartment

just don't do it. seriously. if your lower back is causing you to scream and writhe, don't be consumed by the need to clean the kitchen and bathroom floors. and especially don't be so picky that you're not satisfied until you get down on your knees and scrub back into the tiniest corner.

come on. i had today all laid out as a keep the feet up, use the heating pad, do the lesson planning kind of day. instead, i feel compelled to make a run to towson and timonium to check out bikes and swimwear. then i take a nap in probably the most uncomfortable position on my recliner. then i wake up, have a totally unhealthful dinner (although chicken nuggets from trader joe's ARE really good), and feel no rest until i clean the floor so as to see my reflection. okay, well i didn't really get that far, but still. the question is:

WHY CAN I NOT LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE AND GIVE MYSELF TIME TO RECOVER FROM INJURY?!

if somebody could be on my case about this, i'd really appreciate it.
