Wow Miss apollo, nice to see you!!! How have you been?
Once, I had the whole 15 minute session by a massage therapist, but I wasn't really tired enough to fully enjoy it. She told me my muscles...
Maybe it's just me, but bathing used to make me colder afterwords especially if the water was on the hot side. I could feel the heat escaping from my body more quickly than from just taking a shower...

Slight myopia and wear contacts. I don't think I can handle wearing glasses all the time, seems like too much of a hussle.
I just visited my eye doctor, and he told me that my eyesight hasn't...
