Not At All What You'd Expect

Today happens to be my 25th birthday. But it feels like it's my 55th. This morning I was out putting food in the dogs' bowls and when I went to stand up the muscles in my lower back spasmed. This is not the first back trouble I have had and it's guaranteed not to be my last. But why today? I mean it's supposed to be a wonderful day and instead I'm in so much pain I can't even make it through the entire work day. I promissed my sister we would go to lunch together so I have to go with her. Then I'm going to the Urgent Care office to get me some drugs! It really hurts... mostly when I've been sitting down for a long stint. If I'm up and moving I can feel it spasm every few minutes but I'm okay and I can at least move. If I'm sitting for a while then go to stand up I can feel my muscles have tightened and I can barely move my legs. It's really driving me nuts. Honestly I just want to go home but my friend Dodi has talked me into getting some drugs from the doctor. So, Happy Birthday to me!
