There has been so much going on lately and a lot of laying around at the same time. I did something to my back and I couldn't even sit at my computer desk! I know -- the tragedy! I am not quite sure what happened, but I imagine rather than it being just one thing it was a combination of raking, leaning over Phin, moving furniture all over kingdom come, and never forget the infernal laundry! So my back was hurting and then add in a combined about 7 hours of sitting in the fiendish church pews (I am sorry, but those benches can be wretched after prolonged exposure) over the course of a few days because of various meetings and I was completely laid out last Sunday afternoon. The following week consisted of me taking the kids to seminary, laying on my bed, taking kids to school, laying on my bed, moving all of the dishes to the edge of the counter then kneeling to put them in the dishwasher, laying on my bed, going to the chiropractor, laying on my bed, vacuuming, laying on my bed, teaching my class, laying on my bed, being in charge of RS meeting, laying on my bed -- I'm sure you get the idea. Then on Friday, after I had gotten a back brace and was feeling a teensy bit better, I caught the virulent stomach bug that has been mowing down the entire city (Lucy, Phin, Ibby, and I got the vomiting part and the other three members of my family just feel yucky and wiped out) so spent a couple of more days in my bed. I do have a pretty comfortable bed so that is good.
Our friend just left with the greeting, "Have fun celebrating the genocide of this country's indigenous people." Okay. And don't forget the raising and subsequent slaughter of millions of top heavy turkeys. Let's all go enjoy that, shall we?

Wow! Do you need anything? Call me if you do. I prefer to think of Thanksgiving on a more personal level, a day to celebrate gratitude. I try not to think about the pilgrims and Native Americans.
I'm truly sorry for your back. I sneezed in the shower awhile back and put my back out for a week. I finally went to a chiropractor, which I generally avoid, and did some stretches every night and morning and it saved me. It was right after my sister's accident, so we were a fine pair for awhile.
May your back straighten and behave soon.
