Weekend of (Not So) Fun
Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 8th June 2008
I had a full schedule of studying planned for this weekend, but due to some recurring neck injury, it was very hard to focus. It started on Saturday morning when I woke up and I had a kink on my right neck/shoulder area. It’s the kind of thing you get when you sleep wrong at night. Except, I still get it even when I sleep the right way. This is nothing new for me as I have had this bothering me for years. I blame all those early years in college when I used to play a lot more aggresively in basketball and always got hammered under the rim. I’ve seen doctors, chiropractors, sports medicine people, and all sorts of healers but no one seems to be able to fix it.
Anyway, this whole weekend, I was not able to keep my head upright for longer than an hour without getting really tired. So I had to lay my head down constantly. That also meant studying was painful. It was hard to concentrate because I constantly had to massage my neck.
I thought if I rested it enough I would be able to keep the pain in check. I might have had a fighting chance if I had slept well last night. But the neighbor had a bday party go on until 2am with loud music blasting incessantly. So my head kept getting pounded by relentless old school beats by Debbie Deb (Look Out Weekend, and When I Hear Music, et al) and Zapp and Roger (Doo Wa Ditty, Computer Love). And to make things worse, I had to be up by 5:45 to get ready for church because I had to cantor for the 7AM Mass.
Other notables:
- I hit a bird with our van on the way to church this morning instantly killing the poor thing. My 2 year old seems to find it amusing as he kept repeating, “papa hit a baby bird” over and over on the way to church.
- We lost our basketball game today after trailing again (we trailed last week too, only to win by 1 point on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer) by as much as 12 points. We caught up by 2 points but could not overcome in the end.
- Lakers lost after trailing Boston by 24 with only 7 minutes left, cutting the deficit to only 2 with under a minute to go, but eventually losing by 6 points.
On a good note, tommorow is another day.
