Insomnia last night. Woke up with my alarm this morning and I'm already rubbing my eyes and yawning. Tea is broken. Plus, I think I pulled a muscle in my butt. Didn't even have karate yesterday...no clue what I did.
Somehow got a sore muscle in my shoulder by, apparently, vigorously sleeping. I may be more active asleep than I am awake.

Random question: Do you pronounce the 't' in 'often'?
Oftentimes, yes. Moreso now, as I am working on improving my diction.
