pain in the butt
Well, technically, the pain is in the small of my back, but that's too low down to be a pain in the neck and "pain in the small of the back" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Last night I carried a very overloaded backpack around the block to our shul, full of stuff needed for this weekend's wine tasting that had not been brought over Wednesday night (either because it needs refrigeration or because I didn't have it yet). Among these items was a jar of olives. I say "among" but what I really mean is "wedged into the bottom of the backpack in such a position as it jammed into the top of my pelvic bone no matter how I rearranged the bag." So now there is a bruised sore spot on the right side of my very-lower back, just where it hits the lower in-curve part of the back of my desk chair.
