The foot thing is okay. it just vibrates and has a heat option, so it's a good thing to have around. My idea of a really good foot massage is more like squeezing and kneading, but i don't think they have a foot thing that does that.

Yes, posting here helps, and organizing/cleaning. last night i went on a cleaning spree and attacked the wood surfaces and floors with willful glee.
And then watched a few old eps of the Biggest Loser and used my mini-cycle.
So i actually have some plans with people for this week. I hope things go as planned.
