I Should Know Better April 18, 2008

Yesterday was such a beautiful day.  I got home from work about 5:30, looked around the kitchen for something to cook for supper, F came home and said he was going to mow the yard.  Well, it was too pretty outside to just sit on the couch, so I went out and started weeding the flower beds.  Here is where the “I should know better” comes in.  I finished about dark, went in started supper, and then sat down on the couch while food was in the oven.  The timer goes off, but oops……I can’t get off the couch.  I am SO down in my back.  I haven’t been this bad for a while.  Hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to lay.  I couldn’t go to sleep – just not a good thing.  Finally around 3am I gave up and took a muscle relaxer, so the 3 hours of sleep I did get last night just happened to be right through the earthquake.  I haven’t decided if that is a good thing or bad thing!  Anyway, next time one of you hear me say something about weeding my flower beds, remind me I am too old to do that!!!!!  (This is last year’s picture of my peonies)

See you Sunday at church.

    Age has nothing to do with it, but having a bad back will make you feel old quicker than anything else in the world!

    I am very lucky that mine isn’t out after an hour long workout video and pulling some videos. I was whining about even leaning over the bathtub to wash the girls last night because it was sore.

    Praying that you feel better!

    It feeds the soul, though!

    Prayers for you!

    Mine isn’t that bad, but I’ve been down in mine for about two months on a heating pad, taking Naproxen a couple times a day…so irritating!

    Well, I certainly can’t comment here because I have worked outside for two days and now I can hardly walk. It will be worth it when everything blooms. The peonies are just beautiful. Hope you’re better this week.
