Not sure what is going on with my body. I've pinged it and it's not responding...as usual. My issue centers around my legs, specifically the small portion of my hamstrings nestled right under my ass. This very localized area is constantly stiff and achy, especially during the workday when I am in a crumply seated position for hours at a time. My posture is atrocious, but this has been consistant and my nagging ass pain is new. I feel like such an idiot coming to this conclusion, but I find that I'm forced to attribute it to all the new stairs in my life. My world used to be filled with 2 staircases leading up to my third floor apartment with C. Now I ascend 4 staircases to the fourth floor apartment I share with E. Is my butt getting THAT much more of a workout now? I've looked and there are no new bulging bands of muscle back there. What gives? Why does my ass hurt? Can I go to my primary care and get a referral for butt massage that will be covered by Aetna?

In other news, J brought yellow squash to work today to distribute. I love a squash but this one is so bumpy, and gracefully curved and buttery yellow that I don't want to eat it.
