*crink*

Alright, so it’s 4:50 AM. I just woke up with this horrific crink in my neck. Keep in mind now, I had something like this yesterday morning – an uncomfortable pinching in the neck that prevented a full range of motion. If I wanted to look to the left or right, I’d have to turn my whole body around as well.

Just now was particularly bad. I woke up with a shooting pain, and it literally took me about 10 minutes of slow readjusting to actually sit up. Now that I’m awake, the pain is less severe, and has subsided a great deal (sorta feels back to how it was, yesterday).

Argh. It’s now 5 AM, and I’m more or less fully awake. The question here is do I try and go back to sleep, or do I try and stay up. This could be the start of a whole new routine, a whole new early-morning schedule for me. I could crack open one of any number of books I’ve been meaning to read. I could get some writing done! I could start to study the things that I keep promising myself I’ll study! Quite possibly, this could shift my day more towards the morning. If I stayed awake now, I’d end up going to sleep earlier this evening. I’d be up before the sun, and greet each dawn with the full anticipa…

Screw this. Going back to sleep.
