Short and sweet

Getting a wee bit loopy
I've spent just about every spare minute of the last six weeks involved in basement renovations.  This has resulted in two things:
  • the fumes may--just possibly--have made me a little dotty in the head.  Not that I haven't had a good start in that direction for quite some time already.
  • I have had no time to put together a proper newsletter.  Nor an improper one, for that matter.
However, I have two time-sensitive things to mention, so you get the reduced-calorie newsletter today.  Hey, it can't always be cookies and ice cream, can it?

Thing #1
TOMORROW, May 31, is the LAST DAY to take advantage of the "Body by the Best" massage and fitness package.
The no-time-to-essplain-so-let-me-sum-up details:
          ~ cost is $260 (a savings of $50+)
          ~ you get four half-hour personal training sessionswith Brady Worster (voted Best of the Boat this year and the woman who has been gently and respectfully kicking my ass twice a week since January)
          ~ you ALSO get four half-hour massages with moi
          ~ you do not have to be a member of Anytime Fitness to sign up for this

​

Even if you've got an exercise regime, a quick stint with a personal trainer is a good way to fine-tune what you're doing, get some new ideas, or take it to the next level.  Alternatively, if you're having trouble finding a little motivation (like me!), this is a great way to experiment and see if a personal trainer is right for you.  I am beyond impressed with Brady's support, encouragement, and level of knowledge, and would highly recommend her to anyone.
Interested?  Contact Anytime Fitness at 970-875-1130 to sign up.

Thing #2
Father's Day is coming up.
Dads love massages.
I have gift certificates available.  (You can even buy 'em online now and have me mail 'em out.)


You do the math.
(And if he fusses?  Send him to me and I'll explain how it'll help his golf swing.  Or his headaches.  Or his stiff, achy low back.  Or any number of other things.  If you're lucky, he'll return the favor with a gift certificate in the not-so-distant future.) 
​

Th-th-th-that's all, folks!
Toldja it was short and sweet.  Now I'm going to go back to contemplating how I ever thought that the current decision regarding the basement floor would take less time than my initial decision.  *sigh*

Happy spring, folks.  Get out there and enjoy some.

Away is good, but home is best

Man, I can't believe how good life is.

I have a lot to be thankful for right now, from a quick and easy healing process to an invigorating vacation to a safe and happy return home.  Allow me to share the love.

Surgery went well.

Turns out the ganglion cyst was actually a giant cell tumor.  They're also very common and benign.  No big deal.

For what it's worth, trying to remove stitches with only one hand is about as awkward and annoying as you'd think.  Even more so when using the hospital-provided suture removal kit with crappy dull scissors. 

I'm just sayin'.
​

Ireland went well.

Picture
Man, we went everywhere. 

For those who care, the itinerary went something like this:  Dublin, Galway, Inishmore (Aran Islands), Galway again, Cliffs of Moher, took the ferry across the River Shannon, Sheep's Head Peninsula, Heir Island, Kinsale, the English Marketplace in Cork, Charles Fort, the Jameson distillery, Waterford crystal, the Bushmills distillery, Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede bridge, Ballintoy Harbor (a set location for Game of Thrones), the Dark Hedges, and back to Dublin.

The weather was generally unbelievably fantastic.  Sunny with blue skies was a regular theme.  We only had one day of tromping around in the rain, and that was our last day in Dublin--which, for the record, has many delightful little shops to duck into.  There was also an exciting evening of gale-force winds in Kinsale and a massive hailstorm at Charles Fort, but we timed things well enough to be inside and under cover for the most dramatic bits.

Picture
One last note:  following Roland Gau's missive of, "If at some point you don't ask yourself, 'What have I gotten myself into?' then you're not doing it right" . . . well, we did it right.  Most notably when crossing the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede.  It wasn't the height so much as the wind; if you look closely, you can see my hair streaming sideways across my forehead.  What you cannotsee is how white my knuckles were.

Ah well.  It's an adventure, right?
​

Massage is going well.

Had my first couple of clients today since my surgery.  At one point, I thought to myself, Ah, yes.  I've missed this!

Hand did great.  Thumb's healed up just fine.  Energy's good and I'm rarin' to go.  So if you've been holding off and waiting for my return, wait no longer.  Strike while the iron is hot!  Or the schedule is open, whichever you prefer.  Either way, carpe the hell out of that diem.

And a bonus for those of you who have read this far.

Picture
Mother's Day is coming up, right around the corner.  Motherhood, I believe, is the ultimate undertaking.  Not one I'm interested in experiencing myself, thankyouverymuch, but I hella appreciate the dames who do.

So here's a little something, keeping in with what seems to be this month's adventure theme:
Buy a gift certificate for an hour or longer massage and get a free upgrade.  Dealer's choice.
I may add on a hot oil scalp treatment.  Maybe it'll be a foot scrub.  Perhaps some free aromatherapy.  Could be a full-body dry skin exfoliation.  Who knows?  But this deal is only available until Sunday night (Mother's Day).

To purchase a gift certificate, just call, text, or stop by my office (please get ahold of me first to make sure I'll be available).  You can even buy them online.  (Please note that I will still need to mail out the certificate, so an online purchase may not be an ideal last-minute solution.)

Happy spring!

    When not doing massage, Erica can often be found doing yoga, chasing goats, or puttering in the kitchen.  On occasion, these activities have been known to overlap.
