my arms feel like they're going rip off

So this morning I finally went for my blood test (related to a check-up with my gp whom I hadn't seen in ~5years. So long that the doc lost my files ("are you a new patient?"). Whats the point of having a GP and all this hush hush secrecy where doctors don't let you keep or even SEE your own file (and of course chicken-scratch prescriptions) when they can't even be trusted to have it? The point of this whole rant was - how do you all perceive the hole they poke in your arm? For me, I'm pretty anal about it, I like to keep it clean and not get anything near it for at least 24hrs since it is a direct hole into your blood... no?

After that boring misadventure I ended up in the weight room. Here are some more rants - why don't people put their weights away? Why do people love coming in directly from outside and dump their coats in the room? Use the damn lockerroom! Oh, and why are there always asian girls in the gym looking like they have no idea what they're doing? Seriously. They're embarassing to say the least, and do they really think they're doing themselves any good? There was a girl doing the stair climber in boots at 30rpm or something... Arggg!

massage therapy: I do find my sport massages very relaxing; there is a huge difference between a massage and a physiotherapist doing ART (Active Release Technique (I think)) where they "strip" the tight muscles to "break them down". When my physio did ART to me for the first time I was in tears -its better now, but seriously, had I not been friends with him, I would've started screaming "STOPPP! WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING TO ME?". Just imagine, some people have the luxury of weekly massages... The spa experience for me was just too weak... but I'll still go to Scandinave every chance I can get :)
