i lost a few days due to a nasty neck ache that required a lot of sleeping. i'm still not really clear on what happened, but i've narrowed it down to either:

a) i picked up a virus from not using soap to wash my hands while making eggs. we all do this, because we're all lazy. i need to be more careful.

b) multiple sclerosis. this isn't random. i've been hearing about being high risk since i was a toddler, and i do get weird facial tics and random muscle spasms rather regularly. where the pain is (where my spine meets my brain) could very well be a lesion. but, if true, existing medical science couldn't actually do anything about it except waste a lot of my time. so, whatever. it's mostly gone away. good enough for now....

i'm feeling alert enough at this point to get back to it tonight. i think i'm still on course to finish the track by the first.
