A big part of why I joined a gym = the steam room.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Does Boston not have a shvitz or banya you could go to? (Or is it just that they're all full of creepy old Jewish/Russian men, as the ones in Brooklyn tend to be.)
There is a mobile sauna that will drive to your house!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, looks like I am going to be a substitute teacher! You won't believe how bad the pay is--$12 per hour. Luckily, the DH is going to pick up the slack with his writing so we should be okay. I'm very excited--I've missed teaching a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's great, Scrappy! Although you're right, the pay is awful.

Not conveniently. On the other hand, the opportunity to go to Dillon's Russian Bath might be worth it.
And actually, looking for Russian baths turned up some new possibilities....

STOP IT, EVIL HAND!
Yes! Except, not fun.
Congrats, Scrappy! (Unfortunately, I can totally believe how bad the pay is, sorry. My sister subbed in MI for a while, over near Pontiac.) I hope you have some great classroom experiences.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It is the ultimate fate of all Buffistas to move to Michigan and become teachers.

Or Korean bath, Jesse? My gym does not have a sauna or spa. But I'm contemplating making an appointment and going to one this weekend

Jesse, look for Korean spas. The spa by my house is Korean style, and it's wonderful.

Nope, no Korean spas, either -- at least not that I can easily get to. The closest thing close to me is a hot tub place. But I'm weirded out by sharing a hot tub with strangers?

My current experiences with my MI cousins means I greet this with a big HELL NO. But I'll happily host Snowbird Buffistae!
