Skipped stretching during my move-in week. Back still hurts.

Thought I could handle all the boxes myself. Wrong. Threw out my back on day two. Now I'm stuck on the couch in my new place. First lesson: rent a dolly or get help. Your body will thank you.

Ugh I made the Exact same mistake last summer. Convinced myself I was tough enough to lift a couch by myself. My back did not agree and I was in a bad way for a full week. The pride is never worth the pain, you are so right about getting help. A dolly is a lifesaver and I will never skip a stretch again. That ache is a brutal teacher.

You ever think you could just muscle through stuff? I was the same way until I threw out my back moving a bookshelf... now I know that ache sticks around way too long to ignore.

Man, moving is the worst for showing you how many weirdly heavy things you own. I mean, last time I moved I had to deal with this concrete lawn goose my aunt gave me. Thing weighed a ton, idk what I was thinking keeping it. Maybe it's just me but you never realize how much junk you have until you have to lift it all at once.
