As Homer might say, "Dos!"*

Dos (don't pronounce the s) is the word for 'back' in French, and mine just started going into a spasm at the bottom of my six flights of stairs tonight. I guess it succumbed to a combination of carrying a lot and wearing not my most comfy shoes (I don't like to bike in my good shoes). My back hasn't gone out since, oh, 1999 2002, and even now I refuse to admit that it's actually gone out. It's stepped out briefly to get a cup of sugar from a neighbor, let's say, but it hasn't actually gone out. I hope.

Got my back massager and my hot water bottle and my Tiger Balm/Bomb (nieeeeeeeeuuuu grrr!) and we'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm sposed to restart my French class tomorrow but if I can't move, I guess I can't.

*In French, Homer actually doesn't say "D'oh!" but I forget what he does say. JD, can you weigh in?

UPDATE (Wed. morning): It's out. Sigh.
