Ahhhhhhh!

Our friends, Wolfgang and Barbara gave me a "mother's massage" as a birthday gift and I quickly made an appointment so that I could get a good ol' rub down.  Yesterday, I went out to Skin Sense for a relaxing afternoon.  When I got there, I was escorted to the changing room so that I could change into my slippers and robe and then I went down the relaxing lounge to hang out until Michael (my masseur) came to get me.  I enjoyed some cucumber water while I sat in a cushy chair and tried my hardest to clear my mind and not people watch. 

After a while, Michael came to get me and took me to my massage room.  He asked me a series of questions and then we got down to business.  I've had massages before but this one was different because I couldn't lay on my stomach.  I laid on my side and at one point I was twisted with my knees going to the side and my shoulders facing up.  Michael really worked my neck pretty intensely and I feel pretty sore today because of that.  He also worked on some areas on my back and hips that had been bothering me.  I tried really hard to turn my brain off...but it's not always very easy for me.

After I was done with my massage, I went back to the relaxing lounge for a bit before I headed back to the changing room for a shower. 

Thanks again to Wolfgang and Barbara for a very relaxing birthday present!
