It started on Monday, and I&#8217;m sure I just slept badly on it, but last night around four or five in the morning I must have really twisted my neck. It hurt a lot, and was still well past uncomfortable when I woke up (late). I took a shower and got dressed, thinking I&#8217;d swallow a Motrin and hope for the best, but it was already well past eight when I got anywhere near the door. I was going to both miss my train &#8212; meaning I&#8217;d have to walk or take the train from Penn Station, getting in even later &#8212; and I&#8217;d still barely be able to move my head from side to side.<\/p>\n<p>So I stayed home. It&#8217;s not something I like doing, but lying in bed and applying heat to the back of my neck seemed like the better course of action. I checked my work e-mail periodically throughout the day, and I seem to have gotten back to the simply uncomfortableness I had Tuesday night before bed. I&#8217;m going to get a good night&#8217;s sleep and get to work tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, though, I&#8217;d be remiss if I didn&#8217;t point out that the latest issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaleidotrope.net\/\">Kaleidotrope<\/a> is now available. It&#8217;s a little different than usual, though no shorter in length. This issue, which I&#8217;m calling the &#8220;Summer 2011&#8221; issue, features a fantasy novella, a long-form poem, and what I hope is a really nice cover.
