ffloAnd you know what? I'm gonna get one. Today. That's what I'm gonna do. [Actually, tomorrow.]
An interesting (but unfortunately rather self-absorbed) fella I went out with briefly not too long ago mentioned (among the many other things about his life I learned about) his massage therapist, in the familiar way one talks about someone one sees often. It's hard to imagine being able to afford to get regular massages, tho (a) it's pretty appealing to imagine and (b) I suppose it's partly about priorities. Even after house and car payments and other basic bills, I could pay to get massaged, like, not infrequently, if I (i) cut back on other expenditures and/or (ii) accept a less steep slope in the overall debt reduction curvature inclination.
Do you like massages? I know some people don't. I first got an hour-long table massage back in Baltimore at the massage school, where it was something like $25 a pop, and I thought omg this is great and went back for more. (I doubt I'll ever forget how different it felt to put my feet down and stand up, at that first table, afterwards.) But it hasn't been part of my life lately. I even stopped getting the office chair massage when they started taking the cost directly out of our paychecks (cuz I didn't like it messing with my numerical expectations in that regard) (silly, I know, but hey).
[Poll #2039246][Poll #2039246]
I almost added questions about conditions one likes a massage under and particular parts of the body one especially likes massaged, but, I dunno, maybe that's getting a bit much to inquire about of all y'all. I was just thinking of scalp, hands, feet, butt, jaw, like that, but I suppose it crosses over into sexuality pretty easily. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (haha) I'm just thinking about a sort of broader body biz, you might say, now/here.

Date: Mar. 10th, 2016 10:01 pm (UTC)It does feel like quite the indulgence, I admit it. But I'm trying to be more self-indulgent. Not just to let myself, but to just flat-out do it. Here and there, as I can.
