Early this morning I went to get out of bed to use the bathroom. And was treated to a major cramp in my left calf.
To quote an old friend, "Non-consensual pain! Non-consensual pain!".
Of course, since I don't have a footboard, I couldn't push on that, and the futon is at an awkward height, I can't put any real weight on a leg without standing up. And doing that with a cramp is asking to fall flat on my face.
So I tried not to scream too much while waiting for it to go away.
I made a point of eating some banana chips to get more potassium into me, since being low on that is usually why I get cramps.
So I took things as easy as I could today. I did do some laundry, but most just fiddled around on the computer again.
Lin and Kermit are driving to Missoula, Montana. Something to do with a Post Office job he applied for. She expects to be back very late Tuesday night.
