I woke with a killer neck spasm today. A killer. I could hardly life my head from the pillow without my brain feeling as if it was about to explode. I do have a dodgy neck, but this is different, it feels like a genuine muscle spasm and I hope it goes away, very very soon, or woe betide anyone who looks at me funny today.
Meanwhile, I’m seriously lacking in creativity, so I’ll pass along a fun meme from Demob Happy Teacher. I’m not going to nominate anyone because that would take brain-power. Read it or not, as you please. Use it or don’t use it, it’s up to you.
Think of it as interlude music.
My ex… boyfriend, one I had in the early seventies, wanted to marry me. I told him no, he married someone else within six months, and within a year had tried to kill her with a breadknife.
Maybe I should… take some more codeine.
I love… Other Half, my kids, my dogs, my Mum, my friends, chocolate, flowers, reading, making jewellery, photoshop, and Johnny Depp
People would say… I’m untidy. Yep. I am
I don’t understand… cruelty to animals or children or anyone who is vulnerable.
When I wake up in the morning… I am so pleased I don’t have a job to go to.
I lost… a silver crucifix on a chain, set with marcasites and given to me by my Grandmother, while out riding on a heath when I was about fifteen. I still miss it.
Life is full of… pain, right now.
My past is… gone.
I get annoyed when… people don’t listen.
Parties are… only fun if your friends are there.
I wish… this pain in my neck would go away.
Dogs… teach us a lot if we’re willing to learn.
Cats… give me severe hay fever symptoms and affect my breathing.
Tomorrow… maybe this pain will be gone?
I have low tolerance… for stupidity.
If I had a million dollars… I would invest it.
I’m totally terrified… of a lot of things, but not spiders or snakes.
Thank you, Happy Non-Teacher! I needed that today!
I love your answers and a couple made me think I should be more appreciative..sk

Aw sweetie. Sorry to hear your neck’s bad. Cheery up though, the ex-boyfriend comment made me laugh out loud so you brightened my day even through your suffering! xx
English Mums last blog post..In which my liver finally waves a white flag
Thanks, ladies! It’s a little freer now, must be the codeine!
EM - it’s a true story, too. I had a lucky escape there, huh?
I loved this…and if anyone doubts your ex-boyfriends intent to kill with a breadknife, I would remind them of how the bread looks after slicing…hope the pain is gone!

I think I caught this subtle hint in there about your neck hurting? LOL! Take more codeine, take a hot bath, wrap an oven-heated towel or a heating pad around it :(. And move as little as possible. Unless you’re sleeping then it won’t bother you as much.
Yeah I had an ex that I loved deeply, but was glad we went our separate ways after I heard what he got into later on :S. Some people make incredibly stupid choices.
jts last blog post..Still Manic Monday
Sandi McBride - thanks! It’s improved. Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be laughing at someone with a knife in his hand just because it was a bread knife!
JT - Ah, so you caught that little hint, did you? LOL! It is better - still very sore, but no longer agonising. I did the hot shower, ice pack, warmth, rest … and then went horse riding. Yeah, stupid, I know. But in fact my neck survived the experience very well and it relaxes my back, which is good.
Seems like you made a good choice though, not to stay with him.
Hi Jay - we seem to have quite a lot in commmon, especially the untidy bit - but so far as I am aware none of my ex’s have attempted to murder the person they went on to marry - much as some of them must have been tempted!
Janes last blog post..Andy Murray
Hi Jane! Welcome aboard! I don’t think too many exes go on to murder people. At least, I hope not! Maybe it was something I said?
wow, you need to see a chiropractor, he’ll snap your neck right back in place.
the meme is pretty cool. i just finished two that i combined into one post that i will probably publish this weekend.
good read. feel better.

Valerie - Thanks! I have just got back from town. Guess what I did? Yep, went to the chiro! It’s a woman that I see, name of Kim, and she did indeed snap it right back into place! I hate when they do that, but I like how it feels afterwards.
Maybe I should… take some more codeine.
Good Call!

Oh Jay, It must be in the air…my neck hurts to. Get the husband to give you a neck rub love. You deserve it.
Godless Sundays last blog post..No, I won’t pray for you. But can I interest you in a pedicure?
Meleah Rebeccah - yeah, I could get addicted to opiates. LOL!
Godless Sunday - Thanks, sweetie. OH would give me a neck rub, though he is the first to admit he’s not that good at it. But though it’s still sore, it’s a whole lot better now I’ve been to the chiro. Just got to take care of it for a few days.
CHIROS ROCK. i go next friday. glad you’re better.
