Aw, c'mon, I'm not that old

It's one of those mornings where you wake up well-enough rested, and the sun's coming in thru the window and landing on the bed so as to warm you up without being in your eyes, and a happy cat is curled up by your side snoozing peacefully, and the room is chilled enough so that the special binding on the blanket is cool to the touch and feels kinda nice against your face as the blankets are pulled up high, and you feel so goddamn great to be alive that you yawn and str-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-etch and pull a leg muscle for your troubles.

Ah, good morning.

Bitch, please. That's been happening to me for a year. I can pretty much guarantee a charley horse, shin splint, or other generic cripple-me-for-the-day-woohoo incident any morning I forget to suppress the Giant Stretch Urge.

I've been doing that leg *TWANG* thing since I was a little kid. Hurts like hell. For unreasonably long. I've gotten pretty good at the Modified Giant Stretch With Legs Curled Back.

I get those a lot too. I suspect it's because I'm a very heavy sleeper, and my muscles are in one locked & rigid position for 8 hours at a stretch.

Poor thing. I feel your pain.

if it makes you feel any better, i've been limping around for the past couple of days with a mysteriously hurting foot. i think i pulled a muscle. in the shower.

(no, i was alone! get your mind out of the gutter!)

Ever thrown your neck out doing the stretch?

Well, I did. Five years ago, but I did one fateful day. So there.

Guess it wasn't the highlight of your day, then.

(Leave the gutter?! But all my stuff's there!)

I don't think so. I did do something frightening to my jaw one time, and I have to consciously NOT grind my molars into powder. Some of us may simply not be meant to stretch.
