Sunday I laid down 4 yards of mulch, dug up about 200 sq ft of sod for a new bed and then finally got to do some wwing that night. I routed the edge profile on the top of the bookcase I've been working on.
About halfway through, I feel like somebody stabs me in the back. Being an idiot (according to my wife, anyway) I finished the edge profile. Came out nicely.
By Monday morning I can barely stand up straight. Turns out I tore a muscle in my lower back. Too much work done while bent over lifting heavy things, being 6'7" made it worse, blah, blah, blah.
And this two days before my MM16 is finally due to arrive (yes, I finally get to the point). They'll put it in the garage tomorrow morning. I'll drool, then reluctantly go to work (probably scuffing my shoe like my 4 yr old).
Tonight, the wife surprised me by saying she hired a moving company to bring it downstairs and get rid of an old sofa down there (hah! - ulterior motive). Working long hours this week, have to travel next week.
Can I call in sick due to the need to remove cosmoline?
