I'm an old lady

My neck has been bothering me so I figured I was sleeping weird or something. I tried different sleeping positions, but that only goes so far, because when sleep comes who knows what happens. I'm sure I revert to my bad sleeping positions. The evidence of this came when I tried to sleep without a pillow and woke up sleeping on one. so much for that!

I couldn't lean my head all the way forward without pain, which is usually taken as a sign of meningitis. I'm assuming my brain isn't swelling and killing me because that's a fast onset emergency situation with severe headache, high fever, etc., none of which I have, plus this has been going for over a week. I'd be dead by now if meningitis was the culprit. Kevin felt the back of my neck while I had my head dropped forward and says that more than a few of my vertebra are out of place. My neck always bothered me in school on test days when I had to lean over a test for long periods of time, so this has probably been a long time coming. I was pushing on the out of place vertebra while moving my neck around and I felt a pop twice and now this morning my neck doesn't hurt as much and one of the obviously displaced vertebra doesn't feel as displaced anymore. Self-chiropractic?! Probably not, but whatever it was made me feel better, so I'm happy.

Today drywall arrives, which will be no fun. It's all hands on deck so we can get it moved into the respective rooms. Some high school football kids were supposed to help us, but we couldn't get in contact with the school secretary this week. I'll be sure to eat my Wheaties this morning. Frenchy came down late last night, too, with Reuben, her significant other. They came for a stupid reason, too. He thinks one of the pipes for the septic system is only 2 feet deep, while Ray Chumley, the septic guy, tells us nothing is less than 4 feet deep. So Reuben is here to dig up the pipe to prove that it isn't deep enough so he can call Ray to come over and take a look. Ray is a good guy, so I tend to believe him. I guess something froze this winter, which is what is causing this conflict. From what the plumber tells us, this past winter was a bad one for frost in the ground. He also told us about thawing out a septic system, which I'd rather not talk about. I will LAUGH if Reuben has to dig 4 feet to get to anything. Or, even better, I'll laugh if he damages something! Either way, have fun digging in that rocky soil for no reason! I dug a little hole in the soil recently to try to make a piece of wood that's covering something lay flush with the ground, and man, oh man, was it a pain in the butt with all the rocks in the ground! My hole was only a few inches deep, too! Well, on the bright side, while they're here they can help with drywall. haha!
