My neck is all tingly

Last weekend, in my quest to find my dad a birthday present, I went to Brookstone. There was a chiropractor's office giving out free massages, and that's why my neck is all tingly now.

OK, there's slightly more to it than that. The free massage was conditional on filling out a "questionnaire." Basically, I got sucked into going to a chiropractor for a free exam, free x-rays and a future free massage. And it's pretty interesting stuff. It turns out that my neck is out of whack, which I could have told you for free. Well, they told me for free, too, now that I think about it...

Anyway, it turns out that my usually crappy insurance actually covers chiropractic care, and I can go and get my spine adjusted for the low, low price of $9 a session. So I got sucked in by the novelty, I can accept that. My first adjustment was yesterday, and it was noisy and slightly violent. Which I can get behind. My neck doesn't necessarily feel better today, but it does feel tingly. And I'm more conscious of my posture, which could use a little help. I'll keep you updated as my progress continues.

Also, I'm moving for the next couple weeks so if you want to lend a hand, just let me know!
