Stiff neck

I woke up yesterday morning to a stiff neck, and today it has spread into a painful across the shoulders and up to the base of the skull PAIN that just won't slack off. Trying to work is difficult, trying to make a Thanksgiving dinner... can't we just put that turkey back in the freezer and have TV dinners tonight?

I tried some hot water in a zip-lock bag earlier (can't find the hot water bottle) and that helped some, at least the pain is down to where it was yesterday. I plan to try more of the hot compress treatment in a little while and see if it helps enough I can finish getting dinner ready. All I want to do right now is go back to bed until May.
