Ow and zzzzzzzzzz

Ugh... staying home today, not because of yesterday's vague feeling of coming down with something, but more because I've done some really painful to my neck and need to go see my chiropractor. And hopefully also my LMP. I'm also going to have to stop carrying around my messenger bag, unfortunately, much as I like it in general; the thing's been dragging at my neck, and since it's a one-sided weight, it's really not helping.

This started hurting some time last night, so I slept really badly. So I'm sore and exhausted. Not a good working combination. Now I get to hang around at home this morning and hope that I get some calls back soon from the messages I've left.

On an up note, though, I see I have picked up a new reader. Greetings to l_prieto!

*snugs back* Thank you! Had an appointment with my chiropractor a couple of hours ago, and it has helped considerably. My neck and shoulders are still a bit stiff and aggravated, and I'm still loopy from lack of sleep, but now at least I'm not in active pain.

I think I'm going to go get my herbal neck pillow and heat it up and use that for a bit. That'll help too!

This must be the week for people not being able to sleep, for any variety of reasons. Your neck. My students are prepping for midterms so none of them are sleeping (that's been fun, let me tell you :]). I haven't been sleeping well at all, for some unknown reason.

Mmmm...warm pillow. That sounds blissful! Enjoy!

Oh joy midterms! That's one problem I don't have any more, thankfully. :)

These days if I'm not sleeping I find it's usually either stress, illness, or else I've screwed something up in my neck or back. Like today. ;P Hopefully I'll sleep better tonight, though.

And yeah, the pillow is fabulous. I nuke it in the microwave for two or three minutes, then wrap it around my neck, and it smells all soothing and herbal in addition to being warm and cozy! Mmmmmmm. :)
