Asheville Bound

I have a jaw "issue." At first I thought I had a cold sore starting in the very back of my cheek, but it's mobility pain. Probably TMJ aggravation from clenching my jaw -- I hope that's all it is. Doesn't seem like an infection (that's my worry) at this point, but it's sore. Like I-don't-want-to-open-my-mouth sore. The last couple of years, I hold tension in my jar when I'm stressed. I saw the dentist about tooth pain and she told me I'm clenching. I didn't think I was until I started paying attention -- and she was totally right.

But ... I'm still going to Asheville. 

I'm excited -- it's been 5 months since I've been there. I'm curious to see how it feels. Do I get the same Asheville "magic" as before given Asheville's changed a lot from the storm and given I've changed a bit too? I'll soon find out. 

Stopping in Franklin on the way for my favorite coffee and maybe a little walk through the Indie bookstore.

This is a bit of a "working" trip -- cleaning, house maintenance stuff, but I also need a little mental reset (hello, jaw). 

Oh -- the hike was great. Loved the people and the Camino conversations and general chatting. I probably can't go next month (right before the wedding) but April should be good. It was an excitement boost for our walk in 2026.

Keeping this short this morning. I have all the things to do before I leave this morning and I'm hoping for an early-ish start. Didn't get to packing because hubby and I had a movie night instead. We watched "You're Cordially Invited." Silly, somewhat stupid, but it was a fun watch.

Hope you're set for a good week. Later gators.
