Battle o the back
4 June 2023 11:11![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I had a feeling that the lugging around of the cat carrier would catch up to me. The back isn't out completely...yet...but it's trying its damndest. I took off Friday and rested and have been doing so since. The tell tale twinge in the usual spot in the back is still there so I emailed that since I have some use-or-lose vacation days to use in June anyway that I'll be proactive this week and take half vacation days Monday through Wednesday. My disability accommodation already in place allows me to WFH in the afternoon and taking the vacation time will allow me to stay at home and rest whenever I feel things going south. I'm crossing fingers that I can get it to chill and not go out altogether by mid-week.
Today I have a few things I really need coming from Target and will be very careful about lifting. I have some cat food coming this week that I hope will be delivered to my upstairs porch (if not, I'll see if Emily can roll by and bring it upstairs). Wednesday at lunchtime I have FreshDirect bringing some food and undoubtedly they'll come to the wrong door but maybe by then I'll be ok. If not and the guy doesn't drop and run, I'll see if he'll do me a solid and bring the bags upstairs. I'm purposely not getting a lot and I'm also getting some prepped food so I don't have to stand in the kitchen much.
While I've been somewhat down and out, I got a text from the cousin-in-law that I've been working with to discover my aunt's actual parentage. The DNA half-brother has been corresponding with him and he sent some pictures. Both the cousin-in-law and I were flabbergasted at this young picture of her half brother

Why you ask? Because this is my aunt's son's high school picture

Dude...twinsies.
Oh and cousin-in-law and his wife are traveling to Boise and will drop the bombshell on the auntie. To be a fly on that wall...
