Yesterday we were relaxing, today we were relaxing. I wonder if anyone at Strands Towers wants to take a break?
Fortunately, after congratulating myself for choosing “spatial” as a non-gaming word, I realized that FACIAL was hiding in plain sight and that our search was only for words related to SPATREATMENT.
When I was training for the London Marathon about ten years ago, I was in a constant state of pain and was getting a massage from someone whose technique was closer to brutal than relaxing – in fact, many of his clients called him “the massage terrorist”.
To be honest, it dissuaded me from any type of treatment, but the knots I tied up trying to untangle today’s research made me dream of rejuvenating therapy.
