Too Relaxed...

I have been wanting to get a massage for a l-o-n-g time. Everyone I work with seems to have a membership to Massage Envy where they get them monthly.
I decided I was going to treat myself to one hour of complete relaxation.

I told Cherelle "ok, I'm getting a massage." and then she tells me that she's canceled her membership and isn't going to use her last two so I can use them. Nice, my massage is now going to be free. Perfect!

I tell Landon when I get home from work and who could resist the offer he decides he wants one too. So we make it a couples massage and go on Wed. night. The entire massage was so relaxing. My legs, my feet, and especially my back. Which she probably massaged for over a half hour. We walked out of there feeling wonderful. Sleepy, but wonderful. I just kept telling Landon all night how great my back felt, I was amazed it could make such a difference and had almost considered getting a membership until I calculated how much money that is a year. Not worth it.

The next morning was a different story than the night before. It felt like I had jumped off a cliff and hit every single rock on the way down. My back hurt to sit, stand or bend. It hurt all day and I could barely lift my arms above my head, but Landon seemed to be fine and just laughed and told me maybe a massage every month isn't meant for me.

I can say I've experienced a massage and it is completely relaxing when you're getting it, but the next day is not quite the same. I am even more sure now that having a membership is
not worth it and maybe Landon feels the same since he hurts today. Either way we're happy with just the little massages we can give each other even though they only last for 3 min. and we'll save our money for something else.
