misters

sophomore year, the Bio II classes went on a field trip to the coast to look at tide pools. while there, I bent down to look at something under a rock and pulled a muscle in my lower back (like right where my spine connects to my pelvis, in the "thong triangle" lol). I was in so much pain that I could barely walk, and I stayed home from school the next day to try and recuperate. I've had some problems with my lower back ever since then; occasionally I'll have episodes where my back will hurt as much as it did when I first messed it up, but for the most part it's just annoying or uncomfortable (or unnoticeable).

today, Claire had her foot up on a desk to tie her shoe and twisted around somehow and did the exact same thing. she's hardly moved at all since we got home. and I think this is about the same time that we took that field trip, too. so this is kind of weirding me out.



also I still cannot find a satisfactory explanation for why birds always appear in my scary dreams.
