I so wish I could find an OT for myself, especially as exceptional an OT as you have found. And I desperately want a weighted blanket (I've been making modified versions myself for years without knowing why it made me feel better). By the way, the dolphin sounds...GAAAH. I once bought a CD of the beach. I was thinking nice, calm waves lapping at the shore. Oh, there was that, yes. But there were also gulls screeching through my peace and shattering the whole point of the exercise. Why do people want to hear that? Meh. Your OT posts always make me feel calmer just reading them!

I go away for a few days to take care of my aging dad, and what happens??? The LW digs up all the grass from the front yard to plant (get this...) FLOWERS! Well, I gotta love her! PS to site administrator: I'm under the impression that I'm to be referred to as "The Husband." What's with this oh-so-lame "my husband" stuff? Sounds so 50s! Well, as they say, you can call me anything you want, just don't call me late for dinner. OMG!!! I go away for a few days to take care of my aging dad, and what happens???

I'd forgotten that Vivaldi has the power to heal even the worst moments. After reading my Aspie Hell post, my OT sent me an email and said that she hoped I could forget about the bad experience at the co-op because there were CDs with baroque music she wanted me to use. I told her it would be all right, as long as no recorders were involved. ;-) Kate: My OT uses the Thumper Pro Massager. The best price I've found for it is $299, so I haven't gotten one. Yet. I have a small savings account that I try to use for purchases that aren't in the budget, so I'm still deciding about whether to get one. If I do, I'll have a party and invite everyone to try it out. (Quirky Mom, don't worry. I can have my daughter show you around the neighborhood while the Thumper is in plain view.) :-) Quirky Mom, I could never hate you, even when you’re telling me that Vivaldi is baroque.

The smallest one isnt that terribly expensive if I had some extra money which I kind of don't, but still. You could perhaps get one for your home use and have that feeling all the time :) Kate I just Googled thumpers and found a website for them! im jealous, i want one now :) Which model does your OT have?

But it's good baroque, not recorder-torture baroque. ;) And you know damn well that telling me to skip something will just make me read it 2 or 3 times instead of once. (You did know that, right? I swear sometimes you know me better than I do.) Ewwwwww, vibrating nasal cavities. I don't know whether that's worse than the teeth or not. I've got tooth sensitivity issues (not just cold sensitivity, but vibration sensitivity, metal sensitivity, etc.), but the nasal thing reminds me of the aftermath of my sinus surgery several years ago. *shudder* Still, I'm glad it works for you. I could use something to ground me tonight. Will you hate me if I tell you that Vivaldi is baroque? But it’s good baroque, not recorder-torture baroque. ;)
