Had a fun day. Wore my flower head wreath and a very spring shirt since it's the first day of Spring today. (A Blessed Ostara to my Pagan friends and a Happy Spring to the rest.) The Ren Faire's new grounds were pretty nice. Woodsy like their old except for where they set up the Human Combat Chess and the Joust field. Those were both in direct sunlight. (ugh and an unrelentless sunlight at that) The weather was great in the shade because there was a nice breeze over the day, but the temp got up around 84ish which is pretty toasty with the sun beating down on you. My Love was such a sweetheart, he got me a rose and also a massage from this massage therapist who had a chair set up in a tent. Very cool. She was amazing. She's local, so I grabbed her card. She immediately found the screwed up part in my shoulder (where it pops in-and-out of place everytime I rotate my right arm) and said I really should get some x-rays and make sure I get it taken care of. Makes sense, but I never thought about it before, she also said that what happens is the muscles all try to hold your back in alignment which causes those bad tension points. My spine could be slowly shifting out of alignment a bit and my right side is trying to compensate but just getting more fucked up in the process is the gist. Which actually sounds pretty logical. We went with our friend Rand, another friend Crystal and her little son. Each of us wanted to get something that was out for the weekend, so we'll need to go back once more (like I wanted to get a vanilla caramel oil for use as a perfume but he was out and didn't have the stuff to mix up a new batch). S'ok, it was actually cool - despite being way far away - so I wouldn't mind hitting it once more this year.

I burnt my lip this evening - scalded it actually - on some pizza sauce of all things. Swelled up, hurt like fucking hell and only now, some three hours later, is it starting to receed in pain. Found out there's very little you can do or put on a lip burn because anything made for burns are either for sunburns or very toxic in the whole you-don't-want-it-on-your-mouth kind of way. Lesson to the wise, don't fucking burn your lip. It's hell.

Tomorow we're heading out to The Happiest Place On Earth. This is (besides my lip burn) turning out to be a really cool weekend. I'm in a really good overall mood and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Should be fun. But right now, I'm super beat from walking around in the sun all day and so I'm heading to bed. Rand took pics (I brought my camera but didn't use it, I just used his instead) so when I get a copy of them, I'll have to post some. For now, I'm out. Hope everyone had a lovely first day of spring.
