Report
I had the wake for my best friend's grandma today. It was okay; things are less heavy feeling when it's a woman who's lead a long full life, unlike the last few I've been to, which have been young or youngerish people's wakes. Other than that, the rest of the day was quite nice. Woke up at a decent hour, 9 AM, and headed to the Starbucks to do some more research on the massage therapy route by reading one of the textbooks. Then I realized I've never had an official massage, just volunteer clinics at charity walks and stuff. So, I went and got one. My masseuse was so nice and let me ask her all sorts of questions about everything. She had me convinced by the end of the 30 minutes. Then I did some birthday shopping - both for the friends and family whose birthdays are coming up and for myself. Two dresses (size medium, but if I keep having drinks again with dinner, this will not stand), a sporty swimsuit for swimming at the Y (ugly but only 10 bucks), goggles, a lawn chair, gym shorts, and a turquoise polka dot shirt that reminds me of a tutu I had when I was 4. Birthday shopping for oneself is quite nice.
