I did a half day job yesterday and today I can barely walk.
Entire body has reacted... Such is the joy of rheumatoid arthritis.

Research using satellite data indicates that groundwater stores are depleting as the world heats up. Drying hotspots are emerging in south & south-east Europe, the Middle East (notably Syria, Iran, Iraq), Asia, South America, the US west coast, areas of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard.

Melting polar ice supercharges ocean 'stirring', threatening marine climate
New high resolution modeling shows polar sea ice loss will sharply intensify ocean stirring, reshaping ecosystems and climate feedbacks.
