Pain is never much fun @Owlunar and you certainly have had your fair share of it over a long time. I do understand to a certain extent how much it affects us - having had that intense pain for a long time too. Luckily enough my back is not too bad at the moment but I do very much feel for you. 

Yes the dishes and everything else will be there tomorrow - just do what you an and leave everything else. Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to do the simpler things but there is also self-care in saying - I cannot do that right now and it will not hurt to wait.

I hope you can get to Hobart soon and make that visit to your uncle. I personally would not be travelling just yet - wait until the first few weeks at least of school is back and see how this virus spreads ...hoping it will be better than expected but also fearing it won't. One of our biggest issues is parents sending their children to school when they are not well - happens a lot - then we send them home but by then it may be too late ...so everything crossed that everyone does the right thing.
