Dark and Light--

Gloom. I'm sure I slept with my mouth open Saturday and Sunday, because of the ragweed backlash. And that caused horrible pain in my face, which I mistakenly thought was masseter--understandable, since the left side of the face always has a tighter muscle. Then I got smart last night and double-checked the pain locations in my trigger point book.

I no longer think this is masseter pain, I think it's upper trapezius, which is painful to work on with trigger points and awkward at best to do Hold-Stretch-Release on yourself. But it improved when I tried it, so I soldier on.

W stayed home from dance for various reasons (I'm sitting this session out, since it's a poster child for shoulder re-injury) and made us hamburgers later on, and I finished the first pass of the actual revised synopsis to BLIND TIGER. Ta-Da! Now, editing for most important details for three concentrations--mystery, supernatural and romance--and then polishing for language choices to reveal my writing style.

But first things first. Celebrate! Celebrate! %^)
