My *&%_+* back is killin me!

Last night, we celebrated the fifth anniversary of the day we met--Oct. 31, 3004. We went for dinner to a Greek-Italian restaurant. I had the lamb, and it was fork tender and very good. Our night out was cut short unfortunately, by my wife's excrutiating back pain.
They moved offices at work on Friday, and I guess she overdid things--by failing to heed the advice: "lift with your legs and not your back." She's so stiff, she's struggling to walk, and is doubled over like Mr. Burns... I feel bad for her.
Anyway, we were home early, she put the heating pad on and popped back pills which provided little, if any relief. Today, with an extra hour's sleep to her credit, she managed better but remains quite stiff.
Trooper that she is, she managed to make a terrific barley soup for dinner. We watched "The Proposal" and capped the evening off with a glass of wine and a generous slice of chocolate cake.
Mmmm! Chocolate cake.
