I'm So Good it Hurts!

I am sitting here on a heating pad feeling old.

Last week my car fishtailed a little in the rain and I think I pulled something in my back. It's the only real thing I can attribute my back pain to. But, I didn't really notice it until the next day after my visiting teacher left. I must have been sitting in a weird way. When I got up after chatting I could barely straighten. So I spent a couple of days taking it easy and trying not to walk up and down the stairs, not bending over, not driving, but still trying to be productive.

The last time I hurt my back was a few years ago, from reading scriptures. Seriously. Reading my scriptures.

I would get up very early and sit in a corner of our family room near a lamp, with a pillow on my lap and my scriptures on the pillow. I would read all hunched over, morning after morning. Because I was so regular my back rebelled one morning. I loved telling people I hurt my back reading my scriptures. They thought I was kidding and waited for the punch line. Waiting.....waiting......waiting.....no punch line. That's what made it funny-I wasn't kidding!

So now I'm telling people I hurt my back visiting teaching. Living my religion may be killing me!
