MY BACK IS VERY SORE THIS MORNING

My back is very sore this morning after lifting allot of heavy boxes yesterday at work. I don't think I lifted anymore boxes than I have been but I must have picked up a box or two wrong because my back hurting pretty bad this morning. Also this morning my alarm clock went off 5 minutes earlier than it should have shorting me of 5 minutes of sleep. Well missed another pretty good chance of rain yesterday, the t-storms just seem to just missing the city. Also the 52nd Annual BIB Tournament starts later this week at Shepherd Stadium. MICKEY
