Friday....

Today was the day that Nikki took off for San Francisco for a swing dance event happening all weekend long. I've been sleeping less and less as the vacation goes on....something to do with an ongoing argument between my curves and the flatness of the platform I'm camped on, along with the chill which has increased every night since Tuesday. Neither the platform or my curves are willing to compromise, which meant that this morning I actually NEEDED a good soak to get warmed up and loosened up. Then it was on to the cafe for coffee and email time.

Had an awesome massage treatment today, and then spent the rest of the afternoon curled up with a good book. One must shower with soap before entering the pools, and I didn't want to dilute that massage oil on skin that's been fried and dried and soaked for 3 days straight. It felt good to just be oiled and lie in the sun with a good book....total decadence!

So Nikki is gone, my belongings are pared down to a bare minimum (2 sarongs, a pair of shorts, and a flannel shirt; plus toiletries) and stashed in the back of Mindy's truck, and tonight when Mindy gets off of work we are heading to her house--where I will get to sleep In A Bed! O frabjous day, calloo callay....

More tomorrow, promise!
