There is nothing like ivory soap, scrubby gloves, and a Russian woman of indeterminate age (because she lives in a steamy steamy world and her skin remains marvelously hydrated)to make everything all better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now tagless for your comfort.
There's an awesome spa in Northwest London that rocks with a series of steam rooms, hot rooms, whirlpools and an ice cold plunge pool.
You can get a massage, etc, there and a killer pot of tea.
I still dream about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really want to sit in a sauna right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or really, I would like to do almost anything that's inside plus not at work. I just read a bunch of stuff about Lois McMasters Bujold books, and I would like to curl up and read them for days. Or maybe go to the movies. Or possibly just go back to bed.
In short: I would prefer not to.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
We have a sauna at our clubhouse, but since the office closes at 6:00, which is when I'll be out of here, the sauna won't be accessible. Damnit.

would prefer to be getting a massage followed by a pedi.

Sometimes getting a pedicure is stressful for me (ingrowing issues) -- I just want to be cozy!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I hate massage, manicures, pedicures, anything that requires a stranger touching me. I will occasionally suffer through a pedi, though, as I like the results.

The thought of a steam room just makes me want to scream "MOISTURE BREEDS SWINE FLU" and run away.

omg - my dream day is a body scrub in one of the full over body shower arm rooms - followed by an hour and a half massage - followed by a pedi - followed by a mani. I think I would do that every month if I had the funds.
speaking of manis - after finding a nail treatment I felt good about and growing my nails out - I neglected to make an appointment in the last 2 weeks when I needed one and have now taken off the strengthening gel, bit my nails all back down and attack my cuticles within an inch of their lives. My hands look a mess all over again.
