I just got the least helpful massage ever. Apparently "I need a relaxing massage" is Masseuse Code for "turn on the ding-dong music and slather her in scented oils!" Quit dicking around and
give me a fucking massage
I might be too tense for massages. I swear she spent more time arranging lotions and hot towels on me than she did actually massaging my weary flesh. When did "going for a massage" become this whole pampering experience with not so much actual massaging? I don't need to be pampered, I need my muscles to relax.
Maybe you need to specify a deep-tissue massage, or even a sports massage (if you're a weirdo like me with muscles that are as tense as wire 24/7).
I always ask for deep-tissue. I'm still looking for a therapist I'm willing to stick with. At wouldn't be so frustrating if I hadn't had the BEST therapist. She set a very high bar (she passed from cancer a couple of years ago).
I have found that if I don't get my shoulders/upper back worked on monthly, my headaches are worse.
But deep-tissue massage hurts! Hurt is not relaxing.
I increased my AD dose a couple of days ago and now I seem to be completely out of spoons by 3. Caffeine does nothing. It's hard to tell if it is a side effect of the increased dose or just the depression. With any luck ltc will sleep until TCG gets home.
There's an improv class in my neighborhood starting next week, for 6 weeks. I remember loving improv in college. Maybe I should do it. I could use something to shake things up.
That is a great idea.

I'm just deathly afraid of looking like an ass.
I think that being deathly afraid of looking like an ass is a prerequisite so you got this!
That's an awesome idea, Teppy. You should do it!
