• Ouch!

  Mike and I have decided it is time to update our twenty year old kitchen. I ran onto a deal for ceiling panels and had them in the back of my parents’ vehicle. They came to visit yesterday and I thought I was still young and hefted them into the house. There were three packages. I carried two and then on the third I felt this familiar feeling as a disk in my lower back slipped. My mom and I managed to get the third package in the house. I took some tylenol and did nothing else for the remainder of the day. I woke up this morning and my back feels better. I think I can go into work this afternoon, I just won’t be pushing the med cart or lifting anybody. It will mean carrying the meds on a tray, but I can deal with that.
  I just read a story about four thieves in Cincinnatti who stole candy from a candy store. They were found by police following a trail of candy bar wrappers. One of the suspects was a 19 year-old mother of an infant. She took the baby with her! Now, I have a long and varied history with candy, resulting in gastric bypass surgery, but I can’t imagine stealing from a candy store! Or being stupid enough to leave a trail of wrappers. OR take a baby with me when I am robbing said store! Sheesh!
  Of course, I am wondering what kind of human I am, because I also read a story about an Amish man who is in the hospital after an accident. His buggy was hit by a vehicle after the buggy went left of center. The Amish man is in serious condition. I was sorry to hear this but my humanity comes into play when think how concerned I was about the horse. Evidently the reporter was an animal lover, too. The story said the horse was uninjured.
  It’s raining today, but is also warm. So I think I can stand it. The forecast earlier in the week called for wet snow on Sunday. It has now changed to rain with a high of 45 degrees. But no snow! I might be able to cope with that, too.
