Holiday Cheer, Day -1

Got "Frosted" at work today. This year at the office rather then doing a Secret Santa, we are doing a holiday gift bag we can give to anyone in the office. I was the recipient today. Don't know who gave me the Lindor truffles and other fun holiday swag, but it made for a nice Monday.

Holiday Cheer, Day -2

Put up a suet feeder and a hand-made sunflower feeder for the little chickadees trying to fatten up this winter. I was worried they would get eaten by a cat while scrounging on the ground and they roost in a little tree right next to our patio... they are soo cheerful!

Holiday Cheer, Day -3

Putting up the Christmas tree with Kevin, singing along to Holiday music (loudly), decorating the tree with bells on the bottom for Sugar to play with :)

Holiday Cheer, Day -4

Holiday Cheer at Lush on 23rd buying bath bombs and getting RSVP gift bags full of bathing goodies. Yeah for Christmas inspired baths!

New Thing #98: Migraine Massage

I got a massage today that was supposed to take away my migraines. It's the Monday of my placebo pills, so I think the timing should be about right. I haven't felt anything yet, and I'm hoping the good karma continues. Here's the definition of the treatment per Massage On the Go.

Myofascial release is the three-dimensional application of sustained pressure and movement into the fascial system in order to eliminate fascial restrictions. This technique is an effective approach in the relief of cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, chronic pain and headaches.

Right now, my entire body feels sore from the massage but surprisingly it improved my vision and made me feel much better. The therapist could even tell what side I was ovulating on because I was so much more tender on that one (my right side).

On Tuesday, even after I worked a full day at work, drank caffeine (bad girl), ate chocolate (double bad girl) I still felt the migraine as a slumbering beast. It was there, but so easy to dismiss and overlook. I was sooo very thankful!

It was fantastic! I am hoping to incorporate this type of massage in to my monthly regiment. If it takes away the migraines I get, it's worth every penny.
