it hurts

i've hurt my back and it's very painful.  i didn't want to go to the doctor because what can he do?  he said it's probably muscle damage and will take a while to heal.  i am taking an anti inflammatory and panadol because i can't take codeine.  it's doesn't feel quite as bad today.  i've wrapped presents for the last hour and a bit and have taken the turkey out of the freezer.  i'm about to go to the supermarket and get a few last minute things.  i am going to make a potato salad later. 

lost

i drove into my son's driveway last night and he asked me where my number plate was?  i didn't even know it was missing.  i went into a car wash last week and thought it may have come off then but i went back today and the man said no number plates have been found.  so i've had to order replacements online.  i tried to ring the police and the reg place today but no-one answered their phones.  i want to know where i stand legally without a front number plate.  speaking of the car wash you would not believe how disgustingly dirty my car is atm.  i park under some plum trees.  you know the ones with the hard small fruit on it?  i didn't think it was edible as we had some when i was a kid and mum always told me they are not for eating.  my friend Lan eats them so my grandson and i picked heaps the other day for her.  i also lost my medicare card recently and the replacement arrived today.  i went to my granddaughter's christmas breakup today and then to the podiatrist.  friends are coming for lunch tomorrow and it's Caiden's 4th birthday on saturday.  that's special.  christmas is such a busy time of year isn't it?  i was going to attach a pic of my car with all of the dried fruit on it but i just washed the car and forgot.  it was a mess
