Get Out!!!

I am positive I am not the only massage therapist with the following issue; a client will come in and become a regular (yea, for us!), and then, will proceed to talk more. Talking makes the time go faster. Please talk to me during a 90 minute massage. Especially, after I have finished a 60 minute one.

When I am actively working on alleviating your pain, lulling you into relaxation, someone will say to me,"Oh, it's so hard to find a good therapist. My old one, Leon, he was the best I ever had. God, he was good. I wish he hadn't moved." So what the fuck am I? chopped ham?

At that point, I want to not continue and go get coffee. I could be enjoying a day in the sun or the rain, have some quality time for myself. That's like saying, during sex with a new partner, "My ex-girlfriend used to give me the best head. God, I loved her mouth." Yea, what do you think would happen to you then? My point exactly.

Sunny Outside, Grey on the Inside

Today would have been my grandma's birthday. I was at work, in the middle of my second massage of the day. Maybe it was the vibe of the woman I was working on....I can't say for sure...I started to cry. Had to snap myself out of it. I can't cry on a client.

All I wanted to do was crawl into bed, drink cider and eat chips.
