those Swiss sure do know how to live

A friend of mine recently gave me a gift voucher for a Full Body Massage, something I've always wanted to try but could never justify spending my money on. So I've been waiting for the perfect chance to use this voucher and yesterday seemed like that day: it was what felt like one of the busiest days I've had in so long, during one of the busiest weeks, all of which was the culmination of three months of working non-stop, no one's fault but my overachieving self.

As described by our so very attentive class administrator in an email she recently sent out: "Hi All, Hopefully you will have had a relaxing break over the Christmas and New Year although I know some of you just haven't quite left the hospital..." Yup, that would be me.

Anyways, so I had been saving the gift voucher for the perfect time, and OH MY GOODNESS, yesterday evening was just that, perfect. It was an hour long, full-body Swedish massage, and holy moley, it was indescribably relaxing; pure and utter BLISS. When it was over and the masseuse left for me to get changed again, I just lay there in this bliss-coma; I knew theoretically that I had to leave, but my body blatantly refused... LoL.

I came home, took a quick shower, and literally collapsed into bed. Slept for 13hours straight. And for someone who's been having trouble sleeping lately, that's pretty freakin' awesome.

Now the question is, would I pay $65 of my own money for it?? Jury's still out on that, but man, what an awesome way to finish off the summer.
