Rest

I'm watching a PBS documentary on Unusual Buildings and Other Roadside Stuff.  This is part of the allure of traveling across the country for me.  I want to see all these quirky places.  I will more than likely be heading to New Bedford on a Sunday to visit the milk bottle ice cream house; probably during the summer.  What a wonderful thing to do once you have kids.  Kids love this kind of stuff.  Haha Just after I wrote that the show focused on a family who uses these destinations for family vacations.  Way to be on my train of thought documentary.  I'm so doing to visit these places.   I love traveling so much.

Anyway, today was a rough day for me.  I'm not pregnant so that's a good thing but I've been miserable all day.  Every symptom you could think of that goes with the monthly signal that you are not with child, I experienced today.  Mainly exhaustion though.  I've slept almost all day.  Sometimes I go to sleep during my massage but not today.  She beat the crap of me.  There were times that I was quite literally cringing but it's a deep tissue massage; this kind of massage is not meant for immediate relaxation but long term.  Deep tissue massages are meant to untie the knots and my gosh, I had knots galore.  It hurts to try and loosen and untie them in just under an hour.

Now, I'm still feeling the after effects.  If you touch my shoulders, they feel bruised but the lingering pain that has become part of my daily life has lessened.  In the next few days, I will feel so much better so the temporary pain was worth it.  However, aside from my massage I've spent the majority of the day in bed.  The idea of doing anything aside from sleeping just felt like it would be too much.  I'm feeling a bit better now.  I feel like I can open a book and flip through the pages without passing out.  Thank goodness, today is Saturday.  The only day I can really do something like this.
