I've been in physical pain and I was busy preparing a party.

I missed posting for the last few days even though I've been looking for items that grab me that I feel compelled to bring to attention.

I woke up about five days ago with a crick in my neck, as though I had slept in an awkward position. The pain never went away all day. The next morning I woke up and the pain had spread down my back along my shoulder blade. I was okay as long as I kept moving. The next day I awoke to pain in my neck, down my left shoulder blade, across the top of my shoulders and down both arms. During this whole time I was preparing for a birthday party for one of my close friends, which happened yesterday, Tuesday, January 22nd. I am amazed that I was able to clean, straighten up, shop which required a lot of driving and get the party together in spite of the pain, down my left arm especially while driving .

Thank God, the party was fabulous and small and went off without a hitch. Just five girls who celebrate each other's birthday with afternoon bashes. I was never so calm or organized. Pretty much for the very first time. In the past, any entertaining sent me into a panic and I would pull it off but I would be a wreck. Now that I am on Cymbalta I can't believe how cool I was feeling. I just kept telling myself the party would be great and it was. As I posted the First 20 minutes of The Secret Video earlier, which is in my archives, I have attempted to practice The Secret. It's rather hard to be constantly seeing money come in when all one hears on the news is how the stock market is crashing here and around the world. I guess now is when it is most important to be vigilant. I am still suffering with this pain and it gets worse when I try to sit comfortably (there is no position that works) or even lie down. Sorry to complain.
