I've had a painful elbow for the past couple of weeks - knew it was due to strain at work.  Looked up on the net as we armchair physicans do and it looked to be something like tennis elbow.  Have been resting it and soaked in a hot bath with muscle soothing crystals in it this morning.  After the bath I decided not to start on the housework but to take myself out shopping, we needed vegies anyway.  While there I passed on of those free 2 minute massage places so thought why not.  The guy started on my shoulders and told me I was really tense, asked if I wanted a full neck and shoulder massage.  I then endured an extremely painful massage, that strangely felt good - he used his elbows to really get in.  While he did that I wondered if I should ask him to do something with my elbow, before I could he asked if I wanted to include my arms as well.  He did a very good job, my elbow felt much better afterwards.

 

I did get some retail therapy done, spent around $100 on clothes for myself.  For that I got 2 tshirts, a pair of jeans, crop pants and a swimsuit.  Very good value I think. 

 

I've just eaten lunch, dd and I are about to start on the housework.  I need to get the family room, dining and kitchen looking reasonable this afternoon.
