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. I am too in my head My inner legs are more sensitive than I thought I might be a tad touch-starved (touch-hungry?) My body kind of recoils from touch though I did not know that muscle could flinch like that (or even that that was a muscle) 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) 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" Does the masseuse...
Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" , "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc. NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 won't yield any new information.
