I had a massage today that I bought with a Groupon (never pay full price for these things) and it was amazing. It was for 80 minutes and the second I put my face in the hole, I panicked. An hour and 20 minutes suddenly seemed like a very long time to lie still. But I told her about my back issues and apparently she pinpointed exactly where the worst pain had been because she spent a very long time working on it. When the whole thing was over I looked at the clock and it had been an hour and 40 minutes! I couldn't believe it and was delighted that she didn't charge me extra. I feel great now and tipped her accordingly (thank you, Frank Wiggins).

And at dinner tonight I had more fun than I've had since I moved here! Theresa, the woman from book club, joined us and we laughed and reminisced the whole time. It was great and I can't wait to get together with her again.
