Continued from yesterday....

2007-07-31

I'm more awake at 7:10 AM than I was yesterday in the afternoon. 

Everyone is wanting to get their hands on Gus now!  Wink  He does have magic fingers, who can blame you.

The problem is, I love Sara to pieces (Sara is my regular massage therapist) but, she doesn't do me half as much good as Gus.  I was always leary about having a male massage therapist, I could have started seeing him from  the get go but, I chose Sara strictly because she was female.  She and I have developed a friendship now.  I adore her.  She makes me laugh, she knows my children by name, I know hers...you get the idea.  Thing is, I seriously need these massages for medical reasons.  Sara is a great therapist but, I'm a special case.  I have severe spasticity on my right side and moderate to severe on the left.  (although I can't feel the pain on the left side due to nerve damage)

I know exactly what I'd say to someone with this predicament, I'd say, you're there to get better, not to make friends but, that's easier said than done.  Sara is someone I would be friends with outside of a medical setting.  She has the sweetest disposition and truly cares about me as a person and a patient.  Thing is, so does Gus and he gets the job done with better results. 

So my compromise is that I'm seeing them both, each every other week.  So far it's worked out that Sara hasn't been there when I've seen Gus.  But, on the 13th of next month, I think she will be there and I have an appt. with Gus.  This isn't earth shattering but, I would hate to hurt her feelings. 

Wedding news...

Nothing much to report except, that I've hired a caterer!  I finally came to my senses and decided I want to enjoy the day and not try to be super woman!  I'm so relieved.  I was worried about the budget but, I found a lady who is very affordable.  *knock wood* that she's also good at what she does.  I figure the worst that can happen is that the food will be gross and we won't have enough.   Come to think of it, that's pretty bad. I am still getting estimates from others and I haven't signed the contract yet but, she has me on her schedule.  I'm going to ask her for references today via email. 

I've been working on the music along with 2 of my daughters.  This has been one of the more fun tasks.  If you have suggestions for music (love songs appropriate for the 30 mins prior to the wedding) please post them for me...OK? 

I'm going to post one that I'd never heard of before that Ashleigh has chosen to have played right before she walks down the isle.  I teared up listening to it the other day.  I think it's called "Say Yes" by Dusty Drake.  (I'll post it later)

Again with the dress.  I promise not to bore you with anymore details but, the one I ordered was too small across the bust and made me look like I had 4 boobs!  I let it out as much as I could but, still no go.  So I have one picked out but, I'm not ordering anymore dresses, that's been a disaster!  Apparently I'm not a normal size and will have to have it made.  Who knew I was such a freak?  BTW, I will be having a dress sale hahahahahaha! 

Only 1 month until her Bridal shower and about 2 and a half months 'til the wedding.  I think we're on  track :)                                                                                                                                             

Can you tell it's consuming my every thought?

song - "At Last" - it's a classic...but I picture it more for the reception as a first dance - although they probably have a first dance song picked out already - still a good one to have on the list!

Massage therapists are there to help you. Tell Sara you've had to schedule with Gus when she was unavailable and he was doing some different things that you liked. She may be able to make some changes in technique for you. My therapist is disappointed when people switch on her instead of telling her what they need.

Since Sare is now your friend couldn't you ask her to "get all up in your muscles" and let her know how it really benefits you to have a deeper massage? Bring her a frew frew drink from Starbucks and talk to her.
