Sun's Day, 26 feb

Still doing the walk thing, even the days I was out sick. Not very far, but more than had been...it's a start. Like the ad says, "baby steps."

Up too freaking early yesteday, as I had an appointment to get a massage and what they HAD was 1015 hrs. Then stopped at a health food store for some hemp oil, etc, and noticed bison meat. Will let you know my opinion when i try it. Napped when I got back.

Massage. Hmmmm. Jake Stonebender said of sex, if I'm recalling correctly, "(T)he worst orgasm I ever had was about a 6." I'll allow it's mighty difficult for me to complain about a massage unless the person giving it is a totally ham-handed, uncaring creep.

Yesterday I was reminded just why I generally prefer a masseur. Men tend to have bigger hands, and more strength in those bigger hands. Hurry up Powerball, I wanna put that boy on retainer! This is not to say the women at PMTC are not good in their field--they are, by the time they are allowed to work on clients rather than other students--but they generally try too hard to not hurt me.

I have started saying "Ow does not mean stop, from me. There is an 'ow' which means "more of that right there" and there is the word 'stop' which means 'stop that now.'" That generally seems to help, even if they ARE still kind of ginger.

Working on an aromatherapy thing for lymphedema; thinking a two-step deal with slightly different formulae for the two methods of application.
