Gracie’s Life Experiment

Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch. I’ve seriously done my back in! I thought it would be clever if I tried out the Oxybleaching of the floor tile grout (which is icky and black in some places in the kitchen). To avoid putting my hands in the solution already put on bits of the floor I had to adopt a sort of spiderman pose, balancing on my fingertips at full reach. Scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush from a $2 shop!! My back felt sore afterwards and hubby decided to “help” me by massaging the knot out. Sadly it did the opposite, I actually felt the knot push under the edge of my shoulder blade. So painful – it felt like a really bad stitch and I couldn’t breathe in, cough or sneeze too deeply without being in agony. Slowly throughout the day it got tighter and tighter until my left shoulder was really high. Had a bath which relaxed it a bit and then put one of those hot packs behind it. Thankfully that eased the stress on it but it still hurts lots when I need to sneeze (not good when I seem to be coming down with a cold and need to sneeze).
