Pain in the Neck
Something is wrong with my neck. About a week ago I woke up feeling fine. I turned over on my air mattress and this weird pain shot up (or down) the right side of my neck. Ouch! So I suffered through that and worked it out as well as I could. It subsided as the days passed. Then this morning I have an almost identical pain on the left side. It's very distracting.

Since I am a freelancer I take care of my own medical coverage... which means I hope against hope that nothing happens to me. I brush and floss so I can avoid the dentist as long as possible. My glasses don't help me see anything anymore. Such things as neck pains are handled with variations on yoga techniques. I'm sitting on an ergonomic chair. At least it might have been ergonomically sound until one of the wheels fell off. The threads were stripped so I couldn't reattach it. I tried some self-repair using socks (it wasn't pretty), and then my brother suggested taking the other three wheels off. At least it sits on the floor, but it's a little low.

So I sleep on the floor and sit on a broken chair all day and squint to see better. The evidence seems to indicate that there's probably something wrong with my brain too -- doesn't seem like a proper way for a grown man to behave.
