Afternoon at the Spa

Last week was very busy as we were preparing for Eveley's birthday party and Kate's wedding. There was tons of cooking, cleaning, washing, packing, and creating. I was tired and, once again, experiencing pretty significant back pain.

So after the birthday party, my hubby took the kids home while I went to an afternoon "spa" appointment.

I drove in silence to the building. They offered me water and coffee when I arrived. After a few minutes, a lady called my name and took me in. She showed me to my own personal dressing room and handed me my locker key. A cozy gown was provided for me. She led me to the back and helped me lie down on a comfortable table. They fluffed my pillow, propped my knees up, and covered me with a warm blanket. Serene music was playing.

"Please lie completely still for the next 30 minutes," they told me.

"No problem!" I responded.

I closed my eyes, listened to the music in the headphones, and went to a calm and peaceful place.

Thirty minutes later, they helped me up, gave me some water and snacks, and I was on my way home. And they only charged me 20% of the total price.

So, what procedure did I have?

A massage?

Body wrap?

Facial?

Nope. I was lying in one of these.


(I had an MRI to try and determine the cause of my back pain.)

These days, I'll take whatever "spa" experience I can have. And it was pretty relaxing if I do say so myself.
