I wrenched my back today by doing...well...
nothing. One minute I was fine, the next I was trying not to scream. I went to work anyway, as it wasn't absolutely the worst pain ever - I mean, so long as I didn't try to buckle my seat belt, say, or turn a steering wheel, or breathe. And then I realized (while sitting in Starbucks and attempting to recover from lifting my laptop onto the table) that my work website was down.

Mine's not a circle, though... |
Hmmmph. So I drove (slowly) home and baked Larry's cranberry-upside-down birthday cake instead, because I'm a good wife like that, despite my apparent physical infirmities. I hope he appreciates that I didn't simply take to my bed instead. And after that? I made pizza dough, so David would make us pizza tonight. And
then? I goofed off. Because
Larry has the kids away camping and it was quiet in the house. You know, some people pay good money to go to a spa and feel the way I did this afternoon (I mean, minus the wrenched back) in my blessedly peaceful house.
I highly recommend family camping.
Sans mom, of course...

Oh my. I MUST make that cake!
ReplyDeleteThe sans mom version of family camping is the only kind I'd consider - sounds like heaven!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I hope your back feels better! That is an ugly pain!
ReplyDeleteThe cake intrigues me.
ReplyDeleteI prescribe a day of lounging where you only lift your fingers to make a move in Words.
Are you going to share the recipe? For the dessert, not the wrenched back -- I *know* how that happens! My husband did the same thing on Thursday morning and is still recovering. (At least he's making me think so -- maybe he just didn't want to help us load furniture into my sister's truck?)
ReplyDeleteThey camped without you? Bliss!
