all systems a go...

one week from this moment, matthew and i will sipping champagne and eating delivered pizza on the living room floor in our very empty, very ours, first house.

and the stress is going to kill me.

i am excited beyond belief. but i never handled change well, even changes for the better give me the heebie jeebies.

yesterday morning i woke up with a terrible pain in my neck. it starts at the base of my head and runs into my shoulders. it has hurt constantly since that moment. the advil liqui-gels and muscle relaxer from the doctor hardly touches this pain. but the muscle relaxer does put me in a nice hazy fog of sleepiness.

and i blame stress... but a doctors visit may be in order if it doesn't feel better by tomorrow.

and the pain is insisting i go to bed and i mean like right.this.moment.

so i will leave you with this...
