I've been managing a good swim every 2-3 days.

Not sure, but I think packing and cleaning a house may qualify as an Olympic event.

Much love and respect to everyone!

Goooooooo TEAM!!!! clap


Wow, you've been busy! Packing and cleaning a house definitely qualifies as an Olympic event!

I was moved out of my lab and office and into other ones 2 summers ago. The students moved the lab (physically) with me directing, so that wasn't so physically taxing. But my office, though a paid student worker physically boxed and unboxed my books and the stockroom physically moved my furniture, I still had a lot to do, and was amazed how much it flared me. The last week before classes, instead of finishing moving into my office, I sat home in my recliner with ice and methylpred, trying to heal up before classes started. Those last few boxes are still unpacked in the corner and I still have a bunch of binders piled on back of the standing desk.This is partially because at the same time, I ran out of room to put things because this office is smaller than the previous one. Last summer was to hectic to finish unpacking, maybe I can do it this summer...but not all in one week!

The other day, just doing some lighthousework and putting out the spring/summer decorations and my SI which hadn't been sore before I started, was sore by the end of the day...and I didn't even think I had been bending up and down that much...so it doesn't take much repetitive motion to flare a joint is what I'v found...even on humira.

But happy moving! A fresh start is always good!
