Mostly, I feel like I'm in far less pain than I thought I would be. Until I have to go up or down stairs. Then tears spring to my eyes. It's weird. Meanwhile my arms are so non-developed that I can actually see a difference in them just from this one day. Still debating whether to go to class again tomorrow or wait until Monday.

Dressed as Snape.

My neighborhood, meanwhile, is very nearly an armed battle between flocks of small costumed children and Jehova's Witnesses.

That is all.

That would make an amazing horror movie...

With dogs used to ferry supplies between outposts of each side. "More guns and candycorn needed at 105th and 3rd, Sparky!" "Ruff!"

Well now at least I have a backup NaNoWriMo plot, if Mesme takes a wrong turning ;O)

See, I was totally just thinking maybe I should to NaNoWriMo.

Heh. You've got just under 11 hours to come up with a basic plot. Already the site's running slower than molasses because of last-minute signups.

Can we get CrackDog in on this?
And which side is TuskDog on?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Crackdog!

Do the Jehovah's not dig Halloween, I take it?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Not in the slightest.

We don't have the big JW contingent here, obviously. I think the dentist's union puts up more of a fuss.

This is probably obvious stuff, but I feel like saying it anyway, in case:

0) Warm up and stretch gently before you get there, even if they run you through warm-ups, anyway. This won't be so necessary in a few weeks, but right now, it should help keep your muscles from killing you.
1) After class, stretch all of my muscle groups you use (if they don't make you do this already). As a dancer, I'm sure you know what you're doing with that.
2) Eat protein and carbs. Have a solid meal. Stretch some more, if you feel like it. Eat more protein throughout this whole thing. Celiac disease is a carbohydrate wonderland, so I don't worry about that.
3) Drink a lot of water. Drown in it. For some reason, this helps prevent muscle soreness. I can't remember the reasoning behind it, but it works.
4) Consider getting yourself a heating pad, or if you don't want to spend the money, fill a cotton bag with rice and microwave it until it's warm.

I think going to class tomorrow might be too much for your body, but if you remember some of the forms, I would recommend some practicing at home, or going and doing part of the class and watching the rest. I just don't want you actually injuring something out of fervor and excitement.

If I'm overbearing, it's the drugs.

"stretch my muscle groups"? I think I meant "the."

Bannanas. Potassium helps minimize the muscle soreness.

I think the water thing has to do with lactic acid buildup, but I'm not sure.

I thought JWs were pacifists... :-)
