I haven't hurt like this in a year or two?

.

I kept trying to wake up, only to break through into a world of pain.  Mostly neck, shoulders, headache... migraine?  Yes, migraine.  The light hurt, sound hurt, vibrations from the fan hurt.  I wasn't nauseous, but that is only usually the case, not always.  Hurt, as if my bones had outgrown my skin.  Other things hurt, too, but they went mostly under the radar.

Why?  I can't say.  I did keep trying to adjust pillows, hoping that might help.  I had slept with the fan off, initially.  Turned it on later, when it seemed a bit warm.  It really wasn't, by temperature.  But I really like moving air while I sleep.  I am used to it.  To be honest, after a dozen wakes into shocking pain, I think I did find a more comfortable position.  And, would lose it.  I was rolling a lot?  That might have been it, but why?  

I eventually found a spot, which was the least painful, and kept it.  So was able to get some good sleep... better sleep.  I still woke in misery.  Beautiful, as painful as it gets.  Strange to call it beautiful, but... there you go.  I had hoped, as I got up and going, it would fade.

So far, not so much.  Still, I got to chores first thing, and was nice to all the critters.  Why be mean to them if your own body is the problem?  Logic doesn't always fit the bill, and it wasn't a part of my reasoning.  I just like the little critters.  They even, sort of, sometimes, like me back.  I understand their trepidation.  We all know the score, and any of them could be moments from dinner.  Even the seniors, if I think they... it is their time.

Cats next, feed, litter, some attention.  Sam kept visiting, Sassy visited once.  It wasn't nazels being blocked.  I don't know why.  Yesterday was bad, today is far worse.  The neck is out enough that it is causing a minor fever.  So very odd.  Still, I am not throwing in the towel.

A few acetaminophen just now.  It's been long enough that I forget they are there.  And with animals tended, I can begin work for the day.  I did hit the dishes, once, yesterday.  But that was it.  Not as bad as today, but rough.  I am hoping to finish those dishes, begin clearing counters (at least, maybe finish), and get trash and recycling gathered and out.  A shower, and maybe shave, in there.

If I can do those things, I am good.  Oh, maybe a load of laundry?  Just one, a small one, through.  Should be okay.  If I can.  Well, there is the nausea.  Sardines will fix that.  :p  Yeah, I... may have sardines.  Don't have much else to eat.  For the moment.  Anyway...  I'll try to do a few things.  Good afternoon and day, and for my part, morning.  Later.
