I am not sure what is going on with my back.  I am still waking up around 4 or 5 am with moderate back pain.  I get up and do my stuff on the computer, drink coffee and make a fire.  When Sam wakes up I get my day started.  I usually strighten the house, do a load or two of laundry.  Just normal everyday stuff.  But by 1200 noon i am in agony.  I am so frustrated with not being able to do the things I want to do.  This is the first year ever I have not kept up my yard with all the fall leaves and pine cones.  I know that would be pushing it.  But around the house stuff, I should be able to do that without hurting like this, I am even taking my meds on a regular schedule.  This weekend is going to be a busy one.  I am hosting dinner this year.  Everyone in the family is helping by bringing over their share of food.  I have to finish a few small stocking stuffer shopping, go to the grocery store and the post office.  I have to sit down and do the bills for this paycheck.  January's pay will be 600.$ short times 2 checks.  Ben's airfare for March is coming out then.  We will get it back but not till April.  Alex finally got here around 10 pm.  He wanted to go to the movies last night with his girlfriend.  We were all ready for bed when he got here.  Mom is in his bed so he was not to happy about that.  Sam wanted to sleep with Alex and they piled in Sams bottom bunk toghter.  He came walking in here an hour ago saying I can't sleep with Sam.  Alex is too big to sleep in the top bunk and Sam is too little yet yo sleep in the top.  Al is resting on the cousch right now.  He won't go get in my bed.  I 'll let you know how the day goes.
