Woke up yesterday morning with a HUGE knot in the base of my neck. Spent the day dosing w/ Tylenol and doing hot/cold treatment. I regained some flexibility, but the pain was omnipresent. This morning I'm about where I was after lunch yesterday. I'm grateful not to have reverted back to Square One.

JD has been off at a conference/training about halfway between Cullman and Jasper (no, not in the Sipsey Wilderness). Rather than paying for overnight lodging, she drove down yesterday and today. This plan, however, required her to leave both mornings by 6:30am to make the 2-ish hour drive. Then she gets home at 6-7pm after the day is done there. Yesterday, my mil took the boys for lunch, Costco, and a trip to the post office. Other than those couple of hours, I had babysitting duty with both boys. I was able to grin and bear it with little evidence of the tension turning my smile into a clinched jaw.

Calvin went over to my parents' house last night and is off with both sets of g'parents today. So, I have Nigel to myself all day. I think I may be heading out once my microwave sock gets too cool to be useful. Hmmmm...almost nine...maybe we'll go watch some kids play soccer. Follow that up w/ lunch, a nap (*crosses fingers* Let it be longer than 90 minutes, Lord! *knocks on wood*), but I don't know what I'm going to do to keep ourselves busy once the heat of the afternoon comes into play (not that the 80 degrees at 8am has me thrilled in any way).
