being a bag lady is not good for long-term back health

I came home from work tonight with a bag of yarn and a half-knitted scarf, two New Yorkers, an O magazine, a New York Review of Books, six books, two travel coffee mugs, several lip glosses, a change of clothing, ipod, cell phone, wallet, keys, and another oddball knitting project. I didn't let myself bring home more books, more stuff.

And I wonder why I am a glutton for back massages?
