A combination of manual labor and stress has created a situation where even typing makes my face hurt. Turning a newspaper's pages tugs at my face in painful ways.

Even turning at all.

Makes it hard to go out.

Thus, I am still not in love.

However, I have had chocolate. I read somewhere that doctors have successfully treated brain injuries with dark chocolate.

Well, I at least glanced at something that seemed to say that. So, I figured, when faced with the choice of fruit and 100 grams of dark chocolate, that it would work for face injuries too. After all, the face is close to the brain. Though they don't always get along.

And the body, as we know, perceives chocolate as love. (I have a great interest in the burgeoning field of chocolate science.)

So, this face thing is really a win-win situation.
