A Legal Alien

I hurt my back on Friday. I blame my rathole former place of employment. We had a 'lunch' in the cafeteria that ended with the world's lamest awards ceremony. All told, we sat there for 2 hours, in these hard, uncomfortable chairs with no backs on them. Needless to say, I've had a strain since then. I am not a happy girl. We leave on Wednesday morning for our trip to Scotland and I don't have time to lay down or even to be in much pain. Unfortunately, today has been the worst day I've had. Yesterday I felt really good and I think I overdid it. Today, I had to get the lawn mowed and that just pushed me over the edge. So I've taken a lot of drugs, rubbed some cream on my back, taken a hot bath and keep praying that I'll feel better tomorrow. Otherwise a 13 hr flight is going to suck.
