The next morning, when she woke up, she felt her mistake. At some point in the night she must have moved out of the position, but her hips were stiff and sore like she had worked out hard while trucks took turns smacking her around. She could barely walk at first, practically stumbling when she got out of bed. Her left hip was making a grinding and popping sound that it didn't normally do. She would try to make sure she never let herself fall asleep like that again, but she admittedly that orgasm had been so intense she had pretty much passed out.
She limped around her kitchen, making coffee and breakfast and was glad it was Saturday. She fed the cats, checked in on the foster kitties and was amused as Athena seemed really interested in head butting her sore left hip from the mid-level shelf on the cat-tree. "Is it radiating heat?" she asked the cat, who answered with a final head bash and a tiny meow. She must feel the heat from inflammation she figured. She decided she should move around a little to help her sore hips and maybe head out to get some something to help the pain.
She made her way out to her car and struggled with getting in and getting belted. Worried she wouldn't be able to enjoy her usual playtime with her legs for a while because of this injury she decided she should get some recovery supplements too. She braced herself, took a deep breath and painfully looked around so she could back out of the driveway.
Going to her usual supermarket plaza she noticed a new shop had opened in the vacant slot. Providence must be with her today as it looked to be some kind of supplement/vitamin store called VitALchemS. She decided to limp into there first.
Walking in the door she was greeted by a girl wearing clothes that seemed very preppy clothes in comparison to the rest of her look, which included tattoos, facial piercings, and blue spiked hair. The shop itself looked to be just what she was looking for, bottles of various colors and sizes denoting various supplements.
"Oh good you're here." The girl said quietly before speaking directly to Abby "Hello welcome to Vit alchems" pausing in a strange spot. Her name tag said Athena, like her cat. She continued "Is there something I can help you with or would you like to browse?"
"Um, I saw the sign and hoped you had maybe something for yoga induced sore joints. I went a little overboard in my stretching yesterday and may have strained my hip. My main concern is making sure I don't have extended down time, so I don't want something just for the pain, but something for recovery."
Athena looked thoughtful for a second and reached behind her counter "Well, Abby, as a matter of fact, I have just the thing. This supplement will make you feel loose all over. Seriously, don't operate heavy machinery or drive though. Take this when you are close to bed time and it will be most effective. It's also going to ramp up recovery, in fact if you do a light workout tonight after taking it, you will probably have no more pain tomorrow."
Abby was too intrigued to notice she did not give her name to Athena. She took the bottle, no bigger than what your average bottle of aspirin might be. The label just said "Loosen Up" and contained some instructions and a dietary panel. It showed the outline of a girl in scorpion pose, but something was off about the image, though it was small and she didn't take the time to look deeper. "how much is this?"
"Twenty-two including tax."
Abby opened her wallet and she had exactly 22 in cash. "Wow, what a weird coincidence, that's exactly what I had."
Athena just smiled like she really didn't hear what Abby said and handed her a receipt. "Remember wait until you are ready for bed, or at least you are done with any physical labor or detail oriented work for the day."
"Thanks, I will" Abby smiled at Athena and made her way back to the car.
Abby made it all the way to 7 pm before deciding she was too stiff and sore to do anything productive and could feel her eyelids getting heavier as she started to drift into the hypnogogic television trance. She had eaten a late lunch three-hours prior, which she decided was also an early dinner and therefore early bedtime was in order. Before doing her bedtime bathroom ritual she went to the back room t0 check on the cats, and Athena gave her a few extra head butts before she mewed satisfaction and climbed into her cat tree to sleep.
She read the instructions on the side of the Loosen Up bottle and tested the powder's taste with a tiny dusting on her finger. "Blech... Ok it wasn't kidding when it suggested mixing it in juice."
