Zzzzzzzz

Well, I didn't get nearly as much done yesterday as I planned. I did stop at the gym on my way home - half an hour on an elliptical, at low intensity (target heart rate 128, I was at 135 for most of it). I'm either in better shape than I thought, or something weird, because my legs were a little tired when I was done but I was otherwise fine.

Poor you. *hugs her and kisses her hair* I so know the feeling.

*stumbles off in search of coffee*

It doesn't help that the weather is doing insane flip-flops - it was 20 degrees at 6 am on Monday, 54 degrees by the time I left work yesterday at 4:30, and 32 degrees when I got up this morning. Theoretically it's going to be 12 degrees on Saturday. Weather changes of this nature always give me crazy migraines. Like the one I have right now that feels like someone drove nails into the base of my skull and icepicks through my right eye and right temple. It's awesome, only not.

*sigh* Oh well. 5 hours to go here and then I can go work out and then go home!

Are you sure you aren't in Oregon? That sound like the weather here all the time. Rain in the morning, sunny in the afternoon and rain again a few minutes later. Strangely enough the temperature stay fairly constant throughout the day.

*purr purr purr*

*smiles* I love to give massages. The only thing I love more is to receive one. That doesn't happen very often. *thinks* It's been about four or five months since the last one. Maybe longer.

A friend who grew up in Chicago has been telling me for years that I need to visit the area. If I ever get to do that I sense being turned into a puddle of Meglet in your future.

*scritches her head, kisses her hair and continues to work*

[lassarina]

Mew :) *purrs at being scritched*

[wallbrat]

Work at it long enough and I betcha I could get your neck to realign. *grins*

[lassarina]

Realign?

[wallbrat]

Pop, reset, realign. All the same thing. I'm actually very good at it. *grins*

[lassarina]

Oh *blink*

[wallbrat]

*chuckles*

Sometimes your spine gets out of alignment, which can wrench your neck or back muscles in a bad way to compensate. (Using the general 'you', that is.) Massages can help realign your spine, which lets your muscles relax because they're back to being in the place the body intends them optimally to be.

[wallbrat]

Very true. My last massage was one that I paid for. He did such a good job that I was a puddle afterwards and my back didn't need a realignment for a week or so. *grins*

I firmly believe that one of the reasons everyone of my acquaintance loves massages is for the undeniable therapeutic effect of a good one. What's interesting to me is that there's a social stigma for being a massage therapist that I believe is completely unwarranted. (I also believe we as a culture are touch-starved, but that's another rant for another time.)

[lassarina]

We totally are.

*pets Loriel just cause*

There is a social stigma to a lot of jobs like that because they're not "real" work, I think.

[wallbrat]

*snorts* Not real work my ass. Society, abviously, has never had to massage a rock hard back then.
