Bed Linens are Heavy

It is a little after 10:30 PM, and I just finished doing laundry, which included replacing the sheets on my bed.  I used to have a schedule of doing laundry earlier in the weekend, or at least, earlier in the day.  But my schedule has changed. For the most part, I like the change. But the delay of doing laundry until later on Sunday night is not my favorite part of my new schedule.

It really does not matter what time of day or night this occurs, but manipulating bed linens takes a certain amount of strength.  I noticed it more tonight, because my back is bothering me.  I have noticed this off and on while I have been suffering from back pain and sciatica. Wet laundry, especially wet linens can be very tiring to move. I can do it, and usually, I "power through" to get it done.  But it aggravates the pain in my lower back.  Usually, this aggravation is not severe, and it has dissipated by the next morning.

I am in hopes that the aggravation this time will be dissipated by the morning.
