Ah, OK. I know you said you decided to skip it, but if you opt to go in the future, could you get a surgical mask (like the disposable kind, not N95s) to wear? Or a thinner cloth one?

Maybe in the meantime, you could contact them to find out what mask requirements they have, what cleaning/air quality precautions they're taking, etc.

My provider told me that the first two times i called to cancel the phone but that's been like a year or more ago I think. I lose track of time. But this time they didn't give me any guff at all. Maybe a lot of people have been doing it and they finally gave it I dunno.

Maybe it's not true then.

They have the cheapest package deal and it costs £22 a month which they price matched with another company.At one point they were paying £70, because of all the little extras. I've learnt you should call them up when your contract is ending.

I've been going for massages for about a year, as soon as the massage studio opened back up. Here it fell under outpatient health services so they opened up fairly early. It was weird wearing a mask at first but now I am used to it. If you go, wear a nice loose one that will be comfortable in the cradle. And if you are a drooler (like me--my massage therapist friend assures me it's normal but yikes), bring a different mask to wear home. Heh.

Old man cat is getting slower and creakier even on his meds. The boys feed him every evening and say he's not eating as much. He has not confused himself or the kittens lately by jumping on them in play? get off my lawn?, no one really knows. I think this is one of the hardest parts of pet ownership, trying to gauge pain and/or quality of life for a being who can't actually speak to tell us. Which may be for the best, as I'm sure half what he'd say would be cursing us minions for getting pate instead of shreds (and like missteps), but still....

hugs, WFS. It is hard. We're in similar place with diabetic cat, he forgets where he is sometimes (it looks like, his face just looks confused), and he's starting to have trouble jumping up on the couch so has stopped trying. He can still get on the ottoman, so that's good. And he's still able to walk up his ramp to our bed, but doesn't do it as often as he had been. he'll be 15 in august. I feel bad for him because like you said i can't tell how much pain he is in.

Old man cat is as much of a Couch fashion icon as Info is. He sure can rock a plaid shirt.

We have been going for about 6 months now. Wearing masks, and the usual temp check and questions at the door. The lack of massage and gym has been very detrimental to my health all the way around. Getting the massage back has been hit or miss as I had to switch massage people too.

We do - it's a cheaper bundle with internet and TV. It's the number we give out to any form stuff. We get emails of the voicemails, that's good enough for us. I also have to mute my cell when I was in the office and would often forget to unmute it so having a home line was like a back up way to reach me.

I don't like massages, they just really hurt because I unconsciously tense up and can't relax. One day I'll look into someone who won't make stupid comments like I don't know I'm incredibly tense. I can see how they help, had some really interesting conversations on Instagram on bodywork.

Here people can go to massages and various skincare things. Masks until on the table.

Some frontline staff have to wear N95s but surgical mask or cloth mask with 2 fabric layers for everyone else.

Ugh, a comment about how tense you are would really bother me, too. Hope you can eventually find a good place for them.

I've gotten exactly one massage. I had a panic attack (feeling trapped) partway through. I lied and said I had to use the bathroom so I had a reason to step out for a minute. Then I was incredibly achy all over for days after (and this was just a regular Swedish massage, not like deep-tissue or anything).

So I haven't felt the desire to get another. I've heard the soreness gets better, or I could just ask them to go really gently, but eh... I suppose I should try again at some point, as I tend to have neck and shoulder tension/soreness--maybe I could just get one for those areas.

Scheduled to see Dr. T in person (outside) today in about an hour and a half. Feeling nervous, but also excited. It will be the first time seeing him in person in about 15 months... And I've never met with him in person outside the office before. So just don't know how it's going to go or how I'm going to feel seeing him in 3D again. I fully expect to start crying when I see him, but hope I can keep it to a minimum... (Right, I need to put tissues in my purse.)
