G'day to you, blue.
I think about you often too.

The stiffness is maybe stress related.

Ahh, the trials and tribulations of a student life.
My daughter's last semester for the year just started last week and the lecturer messed up all the readings and didn't reply to emails and in the end she posted the page numbers and gave 60 students one day to go to the library to read certain pages from some rare Dutch books. Problem being we live over 100 k from this particular library and there are only 2 of these books in that library. blah blah blah What a mess!

All that aside, I hope you are able to get it all sorted out.
