This is Buddy.

A couple of weeks ago Sledpress warned me that an Amazon birthday prezzie was coming my way. I immediately thought she’d checked out my wish list and expected a book or dvd to arrive, so imagine my surprise when I picked up a massive box on Saturday and found this inside. A percussion massager with four different attachments (soft, medium, firm … and HEAT!). What an amazing gift, which I can say after having tried it out. It feels sooooo good that I can imagine it becoming quite addictive. Haven’t tried the heat attachment yet but I’m sure that is going to be awesome.

Have to say that I had quite a chuckle over the WARNING on the device which says:

Caution: this product was designed for use on broad body areas only. To avoid pinching keep smaller body parts such as fingers and hair away from heads and the gap between the heads and housing.

Thanks again, Sled. A truly fab gift.
And you’ll be happy to know that Azar and Loki like it too…

care package

This is apparently “make az feel totally special” week. My buddy Taliesin has been re-building my online store, (he also came up with the BEST new header this week!), and yesterday I got an amazing birthday care package from Sledpress, which you can see above.

First of all, more BioFreeze!  Sled had sent me a couple of tubes a while ago when I had a serious “back outtage”, and now I have even more. I just love this stuff, which is not available in Spain. It’s freezing hot and does wonders for clenched tense muscles.

Also, a chokecherry & blackcurrant antioxidant supplement that I’m very interested in trying out (I seriously cannot deal with goji berries) … I’ve been given a 60 day supply so I shall report back mid-March. It looks like very serious stuff.

And what looks like tiny purple Japanese sandals are actually “massage thimbles” – how cool is that??? I think these are actually for Peter, who very kindly gives me a short foot massage most nights before I go to bed in order to help with the awful neuropathy I still have from the last bout of chemo. And can I tell you? OMG!!! P tried them out on my poor  suffering feet last night and it was … well, it was kind of like aaaaaaaaarrrgh!, but I also didn’t want him to stop. Heaven.

The pièce de résistance is that little spiky blue ball, which I believe is going to become either my best friend or worst enemy, and possibly both (this is best explained over here). All I need now is a rug!

Sled … muchísimas gracias, amiga.
