This past Saturday I was putting away my daughter’s laundry and when I bent over to put a blanket on a shelf, something went very WRONG in my back. It was like someone stabbed me or something! Anyway, I sat down for a while, took some Aleve, and thought that would be the end of it. Bzzzt! Incorrect! Here it is Tuesday and my back is still in agony. I can’t sit upright for more than a few minutes, sometimes I can’t walk at all. I’m in hell.

Here’s how serious it is: I postponed a haircut because of it. THAT is serious, people.

I did see my doctor yesterday; he gave me muscle relaxers and a stronger, prescription version of ibuprofen. Fingers crossed I’ll be feeling better by the end of the week.

In the meantime, no posting from me, probably. Although I am more and more amused that this old post I did on Leslie Stahl’s earrings continues to get comments. Apparently Leslie’s earrings are a genuine phenomenon. A darn fugly one, in my opinion, but a phenomenon nonetheless. I think every time she has a piece on 60 Minutes and her ridiculous earrings make an appearance, I get an uptick in traffic thanks to Google searches. Far out!

Ouch.
