Dammit, forgot to inflict my Christmas Adam joke on yesterday’s thread.
:::Comes before Christmas Eve:::
I was invited to join the lead tenant and his family at a Chrissy do down in Corinella and it sounded like a good idea 2 months ago when I agreed to it, but now I’m doing that whole overthinking and stressing thing that I do well. I don’t know that I really want to anymore, it’s a long trip away in a teeny tiny car to a place I’ve never been to meet people I’ve never met in a situation where everybody else is very familiar with everybody else there, and I’ll be the odd one out
I’ll definitely be going, I’m not going to cancel this late, but I’m just nervous about it and also wondering why the fuck I signed up to go do something on like the only day of the year I don’t have to do anything
Tell us how it went after, you never know… Sometimes our gut is right, sometimes these stressful and dreaded events can turn out to be a lot better than expected and change our brain wiring :D at the very least, you’ll see a very different and lovely part of Vic that you wouldn’t be able to go to otherwise.
does anybody have any experience with massage guns? Could you recommend any good ones?
I need it specifically for knee pain (relieve ITB muscles) and also calf muscles for my Achilles Tendonitis 😩
Surprisingly, ones from eBay hold up pretty well. I have 3 and have not had an issue with any of them. If you’re testing any in person, like at the shopping centre stands, turn them up and press them with some force against yourself. If the motor chokes a little, that means the quality isn’t quite there.
But most friends I’ve known who’ve bought various brands have not had any issues with ones up to $100. Also just be mindful of where you press. Hitting areas of inflammation (burning/electrical feeling) can aggravate the area.
Edit: Also, make sure you have a good knee strengthening routine. A lot of good free information out there.
I’ve got a sore throat and am feeling a bit stressed out… I probably won’t go to Christmas at my sisters. Maybe just send Merry Xmas texts. Lemmy gets to deal with me instead.
I finished a practice piece, challenging myself to just do the work and not get it perfect (ie get bogged down). It is done and I learned a lot on a couple of skills I set out to practice but I still hate it in another way. Also it was digital not traditional so I worry that I’m just taking shortcuts rather than training muscle memory and learning properly.
Sometimes the lurge is lurge, sometimes its your body externalising mental stress. Listen to the lurge and rest.
