Turkey Day
I had the most painful morning with my back and leg. Awoke at 3:00 a.m. with a powerful piercing in my back. Stiff as a board and could not move. I thought those nights were long behind me. It proved me wrong. So much pain that I couldn't sit, lie down, stand up and especially the one thing I worship these days...SLEEP. It was just horrible. Finally, around noon, the pain started to subside. Other than that, I had a decent day. Weather was typically warm. It reminded me of the beginning of Spring. Except for the faint smell of burnt sugarcane from the nearby fields. I love the smell of burning sugarcane...sweet. Such a distinctive smell in the air during harvest. Had lunch at my folks as usual for Thanksgiving. It's been a while since I had a good healthy meal.
