15 thoughts I had while getting a massage recently

I knew I was going to have a tough day over the past weekend, so I indulged and booked myself a massage for the following day. However, as you'll see from reading, it was not the best experience. I am fully aware that complaining about a massage is a whiny thing to do, but I wanted to get the thoughts that were swirling through my head onto a (digital) page.

  1. I am too in my head
  2. My inner legs are more sensitive than I thought
  3. I might be a tad touch-starved (touch-hungry?)
  4. My body kind of recoils from touch though
  5. I did not know that muscle could flinch like that (or even that that was a muscle)
  6. While I do mostly want quiet during a massage, I was a little perturbed that she worked on my chest (over the blanket) without giving me a heads up (I have never had a masseuse touch there before)
  7. I thought the masseuse said this oil was "lemon grass," but I did have my headphones in when she was listing the possible scents and I think it was just "lemon"
  8. Does the masseuse want me to praise her more? She has asked a few times now if the pressure is good and when I say it is, she says, "Thank you" (perhaps I have not had enough massages to know the proper etiquette)
  9. I wish this massage table was wider
  10. What is she spraying on my feet? All she said was it would be a bit cold
  11. I wonder if there's a way to pick what audio plays during a massage (maybe I'd be more out of my head if I could listen to an audiobook or something)
  12. Is there such a thing as massage tables with adjustable heights? It'd be so much easier to get on and off if I didn't have to like climb up or hop down
  13. I think I might've just preferred asking someone I know to scratch my head for a while
  14. Well, this robe they're handing me sure doesn't seem like "one size fits all"
  15. I don't think that was an hour... (it was actually 45 minutes)

(Prompt by me)

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
