Had my day at the Day Spa today
My son gave me a gift card for the works for Mothers' Day last year and I hadn't used it so I figured I'd better use it before it expired. I had a session in the hydra tub, which was a real experience. The jets were so powerful! I'm a measly 5'2" and ????? pounds ;) (don't ask; ya don't stand a chance of finding out) and I tried to lie back but my legs kept floating up to the surface and I was bobbing around like a cork! I had to hold on to the bars for dear life! It was still nice, though, and it got some kinks out of the ol' bod. And some of the jets were placed in, shall we say, rather strategic areas of the anatomy. I had an hour long massage after that, then a nice warm shower w/more jets coming from everywhere and hoses that I was too embarrassed to ask what they were for. Then I was served a scrumptious champagne lunch of my choice, so I chose a spinach salad w/warm bacon dressing, fresh fruit, bottled water and chocolate cake for dessert. I could have had a manicure after that but my nail tech just did them and I didn't want to undo her handiwork. Then I had a pedicure, followed by getting my hair done. All of it was nice, to be sure, but to get so much done in one day....eh! Too much touching. I can only take so much of that. I always schedule my hair appt. and nail appt. on separate days for that very reason. But I'm not complaining. It was a wonderful gift from my son and expensive, too. He knows that I don't pamper myself much any more since my divorce. My money always goes into my house or for a catastrophe. He said "Mom, take your own advice. Take care of yourself for a change." So I did. And I have my boy to thank for it.
