My upper back, neck, and shoulders have been a bundle of knots for as long as I can remember. I’ve learned to live with the constant dull ache. Lately they have been somewhat more tense and achy though. Probably from the lack of movement due to my unemployed, lazy ass firmly planted on the couch and binge watching Netflix.

Someone full of vim and vigor to get right in there with gusto to grind those knots into oblivion. Shhh

I enjoyed " Buffy the Vampire Slayer " and it's spin-off "Angel ." I even liked the short-lived " Dollhouse " series. " The Cabin in the Woods " was one of most delightfully bizzare things I've ever
