Lawn care is my newest MT indulgence. I have mowed three times already this year and twice my back was not happy about it, so I decided to invest in myself and hired a service to mow and weed eat weekly. Since I charge $70 for a 60-minute massage and my weekly yard service is $35, I only need to do an additional two massages per month to pay for my yard work. $140/month for more free time, less pain, less guilt for not doing more lawn maintenance, and less stress is a deal to me. There are still a LOT of weeds I need to pull from my flower beds, but having mowing and trimming off my To Do List makes me smile.
I also invested in some CBD hemp extract products. I was curious about the efficacy of the oil in massage therapy and after I had two clients and a relative inquire about it, I knew I needed to do some research. A friend/client told me about Bluegrass Hemp Oil (BHO), they are local and they do their own distillation really near my house. I bought a 4 oz bottle of the regular strength blend to cut into massage oil. (I opted for sweet almond and coconut oils to blend with the CBD oil.) I also splurged and bought a $5 tube of vanilla lip balm. I put my oil blend on my hands and wrists yesterday morning, before starting work and throughout my day I reapplied lip balm. So far I can report I was very calm and my hands were not the least bit sore at the end of a full day of massages. Since my back had been tight from the previous lawn work, I put some of the oil on my lower back at bedtime last night. I can report my back is not nearly as painful today. I still have some muscle ache, but it is an ache instead of sharp pain. I am probably going to start offering this service to clients, so if you are interested in natural healing, please reach out to me.
I have not seen the Quackeydoodles for three days, but here is the last pictures I took of them.
And how do I know that Spring is finally sprung? Fire pit and patio furniture are here.
