Last week, Nika mentioned her upcoming trip to NYC with “the unstoppable lightspeedchick”. Well, I’ve been stopped. I don’t imagine spending four and a half hours sitting on a hard chair in the ER is good for back pain, but that’s what I did yesterday (my kingdom for an iPod!). Well, at least the minutes I spent with the doctor this time around weren’t as icky as the last time I was there, and he did send me home with enough drugs to kill a small horse (okay, maybe a more like a yorkshire terrier), as well as a week off work (no, I’m not taking it).

This, of course, also puts the kibosh on running and swing dancing. Kids, don’t get old. You get to stay up later and have cooler toys, but otherwise it pretty much sucks.

(Oh, and you end up blogging about your aches and pains. Ugh.)
