Slept in this morning, which was nice. But upon getting out of bed I soon discovered that something was wrong with my back. I'm definitely getting old. I don't think I've ever had a sore back before, so I'm just perplexed.
It's funny. When I'm perfectly healthy, I have no problem being a lazy slag. But injure me in any way shape or form, and I'm a bundle of energy wanting to run around doing things. I think I'm just contrary by nature. So inspite of the fact I can't bend over or twist around much, I gingerly cleaned the kitchen and my room.
I've taken a horse-sized motrin and hope the pain will soon subside. Have given in to the pain and will spend the afternoon sitting on the ground with my back well supported watching Upstairs, Downstairs. Hope my back is better soon. Ellie and I are going swimming tonight! It's been a long time since I've been in a pool and I miss it terribly.
Speaking of missing terribly... today is my dad's birthday. It's times like this that I'm bummed about living away from home. I would give anything to be able to pop over and give him a huge hug. I mailed him an assortment of Shari's Berries, since we both share a sweet tooth and it was such an amazing treat when my friend Willi sent me some for my birthday, but the damn things got there too late in the morning and he'd left for the office. It's ok, they'll be there for him tonight. My brothers and I also went in on getting him some computerstuff, but I wanted to send him something extra. I really really miss him!!
