Breaking

I was on my feet for two hours Friday, making photos of the Youth Climate Strike, and I was disabled by back pain from the time I came home till this morning. Sitting helps. Ice helps. Tylenol (acetaminophen) helps. 

This morning I went shopping on foot for an hour and a half and was in so much pain by the time I came home that I collapsed in tears. This won’t do.

The photo is a double exposure I made because the pain in the back reminds me of the horrible medieval torture tool, the “breaking wheel,” sometimes called the Catherine Wheel.
