The Day of the Literal Pain in the Neck

Ouch. Ouch. And more ouch.

Yesterday I woke up with a little twinge in my right shoulder blade, which built and built until the entire right side of my torso up to my neck and the base of my skull was on fire. It's somewhat better today, but I can still make myself dizzy with pain just by poking the back of my head (I know, don't poke it, then). I don't think I slept more than an hour at a time last night, since everytime I shifted, I woke up.

And to top it off, today was an extraordinarily long day...I worked from 7 am to 7:30 pm (with a few hours at home for lunch). 8 hours of Pilates clients, none of whom I had met before, so I was creating the workouts as I went. Good day for money, though, and I actually enjoyed most of the clients, and with a few exceptions, didn't find myself at a loss for exercises. In fact, this is my longest Pilates day ever! It's historic, and I hope it never happens again.

In other exciting news today, we got a DVR, which is kind of fun, though a totally different remote to learn. I've been fast-forwarding and rewinding like mad....just because I can...Chris is totally tickled by it. He's been jealously slavering over DVRs whenever we visit someone who has one.
