Nappy Time

I had my first massage today. My first real massage that is.

I was nervous. Why, I don't know. Probably because I had to be pretty well naked with a total stranger. And I'm a little softer and lumpier than I'd like to be.

But it was good. We chatted before and I told her I was really only comfortable having an upper body only massage since this was my first time. She was totally cool with that.

I don't relax well. I know this. This is nothing new for me. But I tried. And I really wanted to completely relax. But my being nervous made that a bit difficult.

As soon as she touched me she knew I didn't drink enough water. And I knew she'd bring that up. I know I come up short on the aqua intake, however I do what I can.

We didn't talk much, we chatted a bit at first then I just went quiet.

I have a few spots on my back that were super sensitive. It didn't hurt but everytime she touched them my reflexes kicked in and I'd pull away. It wasn't a conscious thing, it was just happening. Poor her, she kept asking if it was too hard or if it hurt. It was neither. Just sensitive I guess. And it was only on one side. Odd.

Apparently my chest muscles were a bit tense. Holy wow did that ever hurt.

It was good and I'll definitely go again and will likely book with her. She was gentle enough for a first timer but gave me enough that I got to feel what it was like. I can only assume that the more often I go the more enjoyable they'll be.

I did learn that I can't expect to be productive after a massage. All I've wanted to do since is sleep. So now I'm off to hop in the tub for a bit, then I'm off to bed.
