I mowed the lawn on Monday. While I was turning the mower around on the sidewalk to do another strip on the lawn, I twisted myself into a weird way (hard to describe) and felt a pang zap through the right side of my lower back. I ignored it and went on to mow the rest of the front and back lawns. No big deal.
Then yesterday I felt more pangs and pulls down there but I just wrote it off as my sciatica flaring up. I decided to ignore it further and go about my business (visited my dad in the country, lots of bending over collecting chicken eggs and such).
This morning I woke up and was in a fair amount of pain in the same location as I slowly got out of bed. Ignored it (I'm getting good at that!). I was planning on washing all of our bed linens, including pillows, and cleaning out our completely trashed bedroom closet today. I got the bathtub full of water and all six of our pillows soaking in there. After I slowly raised my body from that crouched-over-the-tub position, my back revolted. It hurts to walk. It hurts to lean back in this office chair. It hurts to stand up. Ugh.

Honey says I need to go sit in the recliner, put heat on my back and rest all day. Okay fine. I'll reluctantly do that. I know it's the best thing. But thse damned six pillows that are floating in a tub full of Tide, Borax and Consume all need to be rinsed at least three times each! THIS WILL KILL MY BACK!!!!!

What the hell am I supposed to do? ARGH!!!!!!$#@$%*$#)%^*#$
