My back will still giving me a LOT of trouble this morning, but the problem mostly went away rather suddenly. Here's what happened. At one point I sat down to file the bottom of my foot. I had trouble even reaching the file because of the back spasms, but when I leaned forward in my low chair to actually file the foot, it apparently loosened something in the back muscle in question, and it felt much better. The back is still talking to me a bit, but it's at a much more normal level. Weird!

I generally felt somewhat better today than yesterday, but I still took the day off from work and will take tomorrow off, as well. My voice is still unstable, which isn't a problem when I'm not talking much anyway but WOULD be a problem if I were trying to teach. Also, I still have pretty bad cough, although I'm only actually coughing occasionally.

I took two fairly short walks today. It was nice to be out on such a lovely day, but I didn't have enough energy to walk a long distance. I still have a lot of congestion in my lungs and sinuses, and I'm just generally not feeling very energetic. I did take some nice pics, including today's pic of the day, taken in Canada Gardens and showing the shadow of a fence around a children's play area:

Most of the day, I just relaxed, played games on my iPad, read articles on the internet, and watched some interesting YouTube videos (including several really cool ones about robots that imitate the movement of animals, such as salamanders, insects, and even birds!).

I walked a total of 2.4 kilometers today.
