The morning is for the body. You wake with a dull ache in your lower back that has been there three weeks now, and you finally call the clinic your neighbor recommended. They fit you in at eleven. The appointment is quick but the doctor orders blood work and a referral to a physical therapist. You walk out with a lab slip and a sheet of stretches. At home you make lunch for the children and notice you are moving more carefully, as if the ache finally has permission to be real. Your mother calls around three to say she found an old photo album of your grandmother's and wants to drop it by. You tell her tomorrow instead, because the afternoon already has a pharmacy stop and a phone call with your insurance. By evening you are tired in a clean way. You stretch on the living room floor while the TV runs quietly. The new moon is in your sign tonight, and Venus is retrograde, so the urge to fix everything at once is strong. Let the blood work come back first.
