Patty ponders whether Fate is, in fact, a parent

Show of hands: How many of you, when you cried as a child, were told by your parents, "Quit crying or I'll give you something to cry about"?

I now believe Fate is a parent who, when I was grumpy a few days ago, said, "Quit being grumpy or I'll give you something to be grumpy about." The giving came in the form of a sudden and seemingly unprovoked lower back twinge that has prevented me from walking upright for two and a half days now. Said twinge will also keep me from writing much more tonight, as I need to go prop myself against an icepack.

Give me something to be grumpy about, indeed...

I feel your pain, literally. I too, got the infamous "knife in the back" once again yesterday. Don't be grumpy, take meds!

(Finally can see the visual verification! I like the double identity blog).

I remember being told that as a child (do parents still use that?). Sorry to hear about the back (those are the worst), feel better soon!!
