Back problems.

My lower-right back right above my buttock began hurting on Valentine's Day, when I was working at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now and we were moving around tables to prepare for the onslaught of  "two-tops" aka couples and I must have done something with picking up tables or turning or both, to somehow re-injure my back from when I injured it years ago on a multi-day canoe trip, which is easily going on twenty years, now.

Anyhow, since Valentine's Day, sitting on my low 1950s ("mid-century") style couch has occasionally made the pain flare up again, as has sitting in my one arm-chair, though less often, and as has lying on my right side when I try to go to sleep, or lying on my back in the exact center of my mattress where it's dipped down a little bit in the middle, permanently, since I haven't bought a new mattress in like forever, specifically, never.

So, at night, often, I slide my body down in the middle of my mattress, so I'm positioned below center and my feet are almost sticking off the end of the bed, so my lower back doesn't lie in that dip in the mattress that makes my pain flare up again.

I wonder how long I'll have to do this - - - What a life.
