Back Pain

 So, on Wednesday, I threw out my back for the first time. And I'm not even 50 yet. Never mind that Austin frequently has back pain is 10 years younger than me. We didn't do anything special for our annibirthday on Thursday. We went to the YMCA to exercise and ate out at a local Vietnamese restaurant. 

Our big plans are for today. We're going to Columbus to eat with a friend and we're going to shop for new dinnerware, then buy chocolate from World Market.

Me, last night: Funny thing about back pain, I can walk two miles on a treadmill comfortably, but sitting kills me. I wanted to lie down on the bench in the sauna, but they didn't have any handles, so I didn't feel like I could lie down safely and I definitely would have hurt myself getting back up.

Austin: Are you feeling any better today?

Me: Ha, I wish. You know what was the worst? Being in the car. No back support, in that curved position. 

Austin: I was thinking about that. You know, tomorrow, we'll be in a car all day, an hour to Columbus, driving around to the restaurant, then different stores. You might not want to do it.

Me: Dream on. I'll lie flat on my back in the backseat.
