I see now that the warning signs were there… sore back, stiffness, occasional twinge. So when my back exploded this morning, after an hour of fun playtime with the kids in the front yard, it didn’t completely surprise me.
The good news is that it happened today, not yesterday… my interview as a finalist for the Schweitzer Fellowship was yesterday. Last week was completely crazy; this week is a better one to take a rest.
My Mom is meeting us to get the kids tomorrow morning and taking them to Mobile until Wednesday. I’m moving around (barely) but can’t pick up anything or anyone and loopy on the pain meds. At least now I know for sure how to recognize the signs that this is coming. Next time, I’ll head it off before it starts.

When you’re feeling better, I would love to hear everything about your interview with the Schweitzer committee. How it went down, what did they ask you, what was the committee like, how did you prepare … all dat.
PS, you’ve accomplished your purpose. Every time I see something and think, “Hmm, a PhD in that might be fun,” I feel an electric shock from a voodoo doll 1,800 miles away.
