I think it was hefting that case of Pepsi one-armed that did it, but my neck and elbow and bicep have all been having conniptions since Friday. My massage therapist said 'rotator cuff' and did some gentle work around it so maybe it will calm down. I used to get this chronically in my baby-carrying days and it took about a year of acupuncture to heal, so I'd prefer not to start it up again. But of course all health services send you a questionnaire before every appointment asking if you have various symptoms, and if you tick a box they say Please rebook. Err well, 'joint pain' and 'stuffy head' are any day of the week around here. So I'll continue seeing my chiropractor. I just wish that CBD oil actually worked for me, but it very much doesn't.

Gas bill came in, double the usual amount for this time of year, and I had a brief panic attack over what the damage will be in winter. Then saw that my stocks had regained most of the territory they lost in the past four months, so if I get dinged for $600 this January, I shall walk out in back where the money tree grows and pay it from that. I wonder wistfully if I might even be recovered by then and can put in a shift or two at the daycare, but that's being pretty optimistic.
