My back hurts. I'm old. I'm serious.

I started going to the gym again. It's been a few weeks and my body feels like it's never felt before. I'm sore in places I've only heard my Mom complain about (lower back, mainly) and I wake up feeling like I've been run over by 2 very long, very heavy trains, carrying very heavy cargo. I remember working out (hey, it was only an ever-so-brief 9 months away from the gym, lol) and feeling sore the next day or two. But I've never experienced the body melt down I'm feeling now.

Is this what they mean? Your body starts to age with you and things stop working the way they used to. All those times my Mom complained about her back...I should have been more sympathetic. Full blown karma!

Now my friends are like "why are you walking like that" and I have to admit..."it's my lower back, it's killing me!"

Oh man, what next? Arthritis? Bad knees...or even...bad hip????

some days are so hard

im not even certain im going to make it to 26. less than 30 days and im really. not. sure.

'ello? anyone out there?

if my whole life feels like a crisis, does that mean i'm having a LIFE CRISIS or am i just exaggerating and being dramatic. perhaps it's just my no-big-deal midlife crisis.

hello? anyone out there?

yes, another dooce quote (what. i love her. don't hate!)

reading heather's last post: the labor story, part three. came across this sentence that i just had to share, "I spent a lot of time alone, just me and the baby in my womb, thinking and feeling and getting ready to welcome her to the world."

i'm sorry, but i think my biological clock just burst. how sweet is that?! (and just for those who don't know me. my biological clock has been ticking since i was, oh...about 4)
