Massage my new love
December 23, 2007
Massage Therapy is a new found love of mine. I was lucky enough to indulge in a 30min deep tissue massage in Essendon. A present that was given to me by my fiancee last year and I have been too lazy to go use it I was worried when it expired at the end of this month if I don’t use it. So bang I ring a day in advance locking me in for an appointment the next knowing full well I don’t need to go to work after my relaxation takes place.
I have never been brought a massage let alone been to a massage parlour before but the minute I walked into the ‘Spa Nirvana’ I was beamed with slow music, wonderful smell and awaiting to be treated. I handed over my voucher and they directed me into the change rooms, where I was to strip to nothing but my boxer shorts, with a robe to cover my big belly and some slippers to walk around the complex in.
I was then ushered into another room where the bed was ready for me and told to take off the robe and hope on the bed stomach down/back up. There I was ready to be massaged into a state of sleep. The lady that looked after me did a terrific job, getting all the right muscle points and easing all the tension that was their due to work.
It was only a 30min massage but seemed like it went forever. I could have sworn I was asleep for at least half of it. Not the broken sleep the deep sleep, whilst my back was getting nicely rubbed and oiled. I then proceeded to have a nice long shower in the change rooms and got dressed thinking Ill definitely be back to this place in the near future, maybe ill bring someone along to enjoy the experience with me.
On poker issue’s. I finally make some money for the bankroll experience winning a 6 handed sit and go. My own poker had been the typical roller coaster ride with more loops than it should be. I can’t complain as I haven’t had to reload yet. I am setting my sites already on qualifying for a couple of next years APPT tournaments if I’m not working them as well as the big one - WSOP 08. I know my chances are not good in either but I have been improving my play I think and my $$$ is only growing - if ever so slightly.
Christmas is another topic for discussion but will be saved for next post as it isn’t the 25Th of December yet, but family functions, work functions and friends have been keeping me busy enough with drinking and eating till you blow up. Italian tradition is enough food is not enough and if you don’t eat 10 meals a day during Christmas your either offending the chef or your not Italian!
