This is so unfair

I've managed to hurt my lower back. I think it's muscular and will probably go away in a few days but in the meantime it's pain reliever and rice heat packs and hobbling about for me. And how did I manage to do this, you ask? Not by epic gardening or doing something awesome and cool or even trying to pick up an overloaded bag of groceries (did that about a month ago).

No, I did it by bending over to pick up a single. Solitary. Lima bean.

I mean, I DUNNO, I didn't get a copy of the "How to Human" handbook, but I'm pretty sure picking up a lima bean shouldn't cause your back to go SPANG. Not cool, body. Not cool.

Oh man, I am so sorry. I am notorious for injuring myself in strange and unusual ways. Trip on the sidewalk? Get up, with no injury. Take my sock off? Somehow manager to gouge a four inch long wound in my leg with my toenail.

I'm pretty sure I didn't get the "How to Human" handbook either.

Ouch! Yeah, I don't see why "How to Human" isn't a thing you don't automatically get. It would make life a heckuva lot easier!

This is basically what happens when you get old. One day you're doing something you've done nine snillion times before and suddenly some part of your body has just had enough of your shit.

IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING, FOR SURE.

This is sadly true. I once hurt my back unto complete agony... by sitting wrong. Like just sitting and watching TV. It's bullshit, is what it is.

IT REALLY IS. I mean, it wasn't like I was hang gliding off water towers or anything. Thank goodness I didn't pick up something bigger, like a dropped spoon or something. I might've been put in the hospital.
