    Neither can I!  Since I started my nursing career, I easily get backaches, especially if the couch / bed is not ergonometrically-correct.    If I have to rough it out, I think my back will start throwing muscular spasms and I'll become rigid the next day and won't be able to move without feeling tsunami waves of pain clash over me. 

  On top of that, I'm scared of insects and creepy-crawlies, and if I rough it out, I inevitably end up in awful rashes all over. 

  I think I'm made for the 'good life' type!    My ex-colleagues used to call me "Xiao Jie".
