Back Attack
So Danny comes home from Austin and announces that he, too, has injured his back! I had been doing fine all afternoon, but I was in safe in bed watching What a Girl Wants (guilty pleasure). I didn’t put any stress on my back at all.
When I got out of bed to make hot dogs and greet Danny, I must have triggered something in my back, because in the middle of my second hot dog, I was siezed with the same searing pain from last night. So there we were, me and Danny, flat on our backs on the bed, holding hands and miserably in pain. We both drugged up. I spent a good 30-45 minutes holding onto Danny’s hand and moaning and crying. He would cry out in pain whenever he moved, but he still got up to get me more meds and some water, sweet man.
Now the drugs have kicked in for me, mercifully, but not so well for him. We are two miserable gimps tonight, but its so nice to be together, no matter what.

Well if you’ve gotta to bring out the gimp, might as well do it together right? What is the likelihood that your body seized up during the second hot dog because it just decided “no more lips and assholes!” If that had happened to me, I would have said “shut up brain! I love hot dogs! do your worst! I will stab you with a q-tip!” I do not recommend stabbing your brain with a q-tip. This tip brought to you by Homer Simpson.

I am a little comment happy. Bear with me when I tell you this blog entry reminds me of that future-y episode of Saved by the Bell when they were all in the band “Zack Attack” and there was the Variety headline of “Zack Attack Attacks Itself!” Also, they were practicing in their garage one day when “Fate happened by.” Then that dude who talked like Robin leach came in in a business suit and said “Hi. I’m Brian Fate. I was just jogging by.” I always think of him when I think of fate. It was probably Brian Fate that caused you and Danny to meet, also.

Shoot, do we have to invite Brian Fate to the wedding? Well, it might be nice to have Fate with us for the event, actually. He could do all sorts of other good deeds while he’s at it. And he gets free booze and cake!
