Rod in the Cabinet

Back and neck pain can turn out to be a pain in the ass, like I said. Beside your every movement being attached to the same muscle groups, you become helpless in other ways. Let us just say there’s nothing worse than living alone and attempting to dress yourself without screaming. Thankfully, there are such things as anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants to dull the pain.

Outside of the physical, however, back pain comes with other problems. I am a big dude, about 6’3” and 225 lbs of both parts muscle and nonmuscle. If I had a pickup, I would be the first guy you called when you wanted to move something. But I do not have a pickup and now I can not lift a book without grunting, much less help my mother move a card catalog.

So when my mother continued to clean house around the library, she hired Bannville Lawn Care and Moving Company. Mitch and Eli Brown would cut your yard, move you into a new house and then cut that yard, too, all for a reasonable price. My mother always called them for odd jobs around the library, and I did as well. Along with certain odds and ends around the library went the ancient and now defunct cabinet for the card catalog.
