Morphine or LessPhine

I am kinda tired of the constant pain. I know what most of it comes from...my lower back...it is not happy with having to sit in that chair at work for 8 hours a day...sometimes longer. It is not happy so it moves the nerve pain up my back, into my arms...and down the back of my legs. I know I will figure out a solution sooner or later. I stretch but I need to find the right exercise to make it all feel better. Tonight my son is doing a comedy routine at a local comedy club. It is open mic night. He did a routine for talent show at his college last winter and got second place. His classmates and friends have been pushing him to try this. He did his routine for me and some of it really made me laugh, some of it was mildly amusing. He went to his girlfriend's today before he took off for the club. He told me not long before he had to be at the club that he was REALLY nervous. I am envisioning back to his teen years when he used to have panic attacks and collapse. He has come SO FAR since then. He is out there, goes places, speaks in front of rooms full of people, has done radio spots...but I am worried that tonight might be his waterloo. I give him props for trying to broaden his horizons. I haven't heard anything from him as to how it went. Kinda bothers me. I mastered a new skill today. I put new screen into some screens from my sunroom. The dogs had shredded some of them. I bought some dog proof screening...which seems to be a bit thicker than regular screening so it was much more difficult to get the rubber gasket back in. It really hurt my already painful hands. But...I did it. And it looks nice. Tomorrow is back to the phones...
