Day 15: Sole Stretch
Today is a good one for me. I've been up and teaching since about 7:30 this morning--first preschool, straight to sub in a first grade room, then back to my room to get ready for our fun-filled Christmas partying day tomorrow. So I just got home, sat down at the computer to do a little bit of work, got around to writing and realized that my feet are sore. The kind of sore that you don't realize until you have a minute to sit down. The kind that makes me wish it was summer and I had a pedicure at Hair Lines scheduled for tomorrow.
I got one of those pedicures right before school started, September 1st actually. It was a gift for Administrative Assistant's Day from the church. I was told to schedule early, but I thought that's because prom was coming up. I waited to get it for my birthday. Lori was already booked for a couple of months. Yikes! I found out she's always booked, not just for prom. And, once I went to see her, I found out why.
Normally I like a pedicure in one of those spa chairs, but I always worry about those skin diseases you can catch when they don't clean them thoroughly. But I don't like the tubs because they just don't feel as nice. Lori uses a tub with a liner (super sanitized) on top of a massager with all kinds of bubbles and yummy smelly stuff. Then she massaged my feet in a way I will never forget. She uses reflexology which I didn't know much about (still don't know much) but it was amazing to say the least. As she rubbed my feet and calves, she told me what each part was touching and then told me things about injuries I'd had throughout my life. I had never met this woman before and she was telling me that I had had a lot of ear infections as a child. Wow! It was cool feeling the crystallized junk moving around in my veins as it was coming loose. She rubbed in the lotion and painted a french tip on. It was beautiful.
Yep, wish I had scheduled a pedicure with her a few months ago.
