You know you've overdone it when....

I mowed the lawn this afternoon, as it's garden waste collection day tomorrow, and I pushed myself to do it in one go because I was convinced if I sat down for a break I'd never start again. By the time I'd finished my hip was screaming, so I put everything away and decided I'd earned a beer.

Turns out it wasn't just my hip. I got the beer can open, but when I tried to lift it my arm was shaking so much that beer was splashing wildly out of the hole, and it's still not remotely steady two hours later even though the can is now virtually empty.

(I did get the beer in the end, it just took two hands to do it)
