a well-deserved break

Well, after work I am off to Montauk, to meet up with all the women of my father's family to celebrate my Aunt Gay's sixtieth birthday. I love that my family does things like this.

So we are all going to spend the day at this spa, where you can use the pool and sauna and steam room room all day for $25, and anything fancier you pay extra for. I am indulging myself with a deep-tissue massage, which I desperately need at this point since I seem to have done something evil to my neck and shoulders on Tuesday. I have been hurting all week, to the point that I am taking ibuprofin all day and wearing one of those adhesive heat packs. It helps, but doesn't eliminate the pain.

So, anyway, familial girl bonding and a massage, sounds like a great weekend.
