Birthday Massage

My mom bought me a massage for my birthday. I went last night and laid on a table for 1.5 hours. It felt so good, hurt so good, and was just almost long enough. I do not know though, that any time is long enough when you are having someone rub your body all over. She focused on my skull, my neck, and shoulder as that is where my stress is carried. She worked over and over once she found a tight spot until it was totally relaxed. It hurt! I just took deep breaths and let it out. She also used Reiki on me. It was warm and buzzy, or was that the smoke?
I do not get massages often enough. Here are my issues: underwear or no underwear. I went with no underwear, but if I had my period I would have worn them. Dirty feet: I have concrete floors, my feet are dirty the minute I walk out of my bedroom. They are also really calloused from this even though I scrub them everyday. She did not rub my feet, was that why? Dirty body: I knew I was going to get greasy and would need a shower afterwards, so I did not shower before hand. She wanted to work under my arms to loosen up my neck and shoulders, gross, but she did it anyway. Hairy legs: I have gotten so good at being lazy that I know never remember to shave, the therapist was kind enough not to say anything though. The worst part was: gas..... I have awful gas right now. I love it, it smells so rich, but Byron says it makes him want to throw up (makes me like it more). I did not want to fart while getting my massage but three, yes, three times, one hit my digestive tract and tried to push itself out. Here is was, comfortable, being rubbed, all limp, and then whammo, I would tense up like a coil and try to pinch the fart off. Of course, she knew what I was doing, unless I had some sort of spastic disorder. How is a person supposed to react in that situation, just let it fly. It makes sense the more relaxed you are, the more RELAXED you are. I did not let it ruin my time there, but I did think about it some. I still feel really good and relaxed today. I think that is better than therapy, just get a massage like that once a week instead and you will not give a shit what is going on in your life.
