OMG! What a week!!

What a week!  I have totally killed my back this week, and I paid for it every single night.
I hurt so bad every night it wasn't even funny, as the saying goes.  I went to bed early most nights (that means before eleven) and I even went right to sleep most of those nights, too.  But, damn, it was rough and tough.  I hurt.  Bad.
Don't get me wrong.  I have a pretty high threshold for pain, I think, so hurting can be growth, right?  I don't know what I, and my back, can do if I don't TRY to do stuff.  But I don't think I'll be pushing it to the limit like I did this week for a long, long time again now.  I've learned from this.  I don't need another smackdown from above.

I did have some good times in there, too.
I went to lunch with Bert AND Teresa on Thursday!  Yes, Teresa went, too!  I was SO happy that day!  Even though we went to Longhorn again - even the waitress teased us - we all enjoyed it.  The chairs got way too hard way too soon, but there was no way in the world was I going to admit that to them, and we just talked and talked and talked, as we usually do.  It was great!

Friday and Saturday was the Rummage Sale itself.  I spent the day - all the hours of the Rummage Sale - up at church, doing whatever needed to be done.  I made sure to alternate sitting and walking/standing, but it was still a lot different than what I'm used to.  Oh, how I hate being a wuss!!
On Saturday, after it was over, there was still a lot of baked goods left, so we decided to bring the stuff up to sell after Mass that night.  So, I volunteered to do that and got back home a little after six.

Finally, finally - my week is over!!

Tonight, the rest of the family has come up for supper and enjoying the fire pit.  Little did they know that 1) I wasn't going to be home for a bit, and 2) we were going to move the fire pit!
We discussed how I wanted to move things around, and Josh helped Ron move things while I went in the house and cooked supper.  I made my shrimp dish, herb & cheese Rice-a-Roni, broccoli, and cabbage.  We ate outside at the picnic table, since it was nice and breezy outside and not very hot.
Then we sat over at the "new" conversation/fire pit - the porch swing got moved over by the glider chair patio, with the fire pit in front of, and in the middle of, them.  Yard chairs completed the circle around the fire pit.  The porch swing's back is to the shed, if that gives you a picture in your head.  We roasted marshmallows and cheese weenies while sitting by the fire.
They left for home, and Ron and I sat out by the fire for a little bit, then came in to go to bed, because I was really tired and wanted this week to be over.


Sunday.  Church and lunch.  That's what we did.
After church, we went to the new Mexican place - Don Rigo - down by Kroger.  It wasn't bad.  Not bad at all.  Ron had something called a Burrito Barzon, and I had my chimichangas.  Total cost of our lunch (before tip) was under 20 bucks!
We came home and just lazed around the rest of the day.

Back to normal tomorrow.  Yay for normal!
