careful...there's needles in your back

so, due to the ridiculous amount of crap i've had to finish lately related to the job search, etc., i hadn't been to the gym in almost 3 weeks. given that i'm going to be out of town again in a week, i decided to go right back to the same level i was at before...when i was in the gym 4x a week and kickboxing 2x a week. needless to say, every muscle in my body was in intense pain, primarily my lower back (i wonder how many more years i'm going to be able to do this?).

anyway, thankfully liz has recently learned how to poke people with needles and make everything all better. i don't really have too much more to say, except that its weird to push needles into your skin to make muscle pain go away...but it totally worked! call me a jackass for being surprised, but i didn't think it would work as quickly/well as it did (props to liz for learning so quickly).



i appreciate muscle relaxants that don't involve stretching or pills. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
