My Back Came Back!

Evidently, I spoke/posted too soon. Apparently, Naprosen is a wonder drug (which I actually knew from my summer camp days when one of my friends had been prescribed Anaprox for her menstrual cramps -- she was more than happy to share and we dubbed the pill "Bliss").

Cousin Andrew and SMS had a lovely breakfast at Du-Par's with L and then went to In-N-Out to get me a Single Cheeseburger Animal Style (Andrew had a Double Double Animal Style) and I had to get out of bed to eat it because even I, in the pain I was in, was not going to attempt an In-N-Out in bed! Amazingly, I felt better. It took the meds about 3 hours to kick in, but when they did, they did! After lunch we headed out to the beach. SMS and Andrew took a quick hike and I sat on the beach reading and listening to music. It was a glorious day and it certainly helped to restore my perspective. (It also made me feel really stupid, because rather than going to Target once a week, I could be going to the beach. Duh! Will have to work on that in 2008.)

This is what Point Dume looks like on New Year's Eve Day:













After the beach we stopped at a bar for beer (for the boys) and appetizers (all around) and we saw this sign (it made us laugh really hard and think about all of our friends and family "back east"):













So love to all and stay warm. We miss you and we love you. Happy New Year!
