something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

I had a massage this morning. Feel a definite improvement.

I've been going for massage since 1991, and up until Dec 2008 [when she left town] I went to the same therapist all that time. It took me this long to work up the nerve to try someone new, so I went 4 months without a treatment -- first time I've ever gone that long without since I started. So boy is it nice to get that taken care of again, finally.

The new RMT seems like a nice lady, we'll see how it goes.

Aren't massages the best? Patrick and I go every six weeks and I can't imagine going four months without one. I always feel so much better afterwards and I definitely sleep better.

I've been going to the same massage therapist for about 8 or 9 years now. She has encouraged me to see someone else if I ever had the opportunity though - she said it would give me a nice perspective on what works and what else I might like her to try.

Like I said, with me it was 17 years with the same lady. It's funny, what a strangely intimate relationship you build that way over that much time.

Maybe you should take her up on going elsewhere, not only to try it out but also to prepare you for the shock if it ever happens that you have to see someone else. Maybe I wouldn'ta waited four months if I wasn't so weirded out by the whole prospect...
