You are depressed if you don't get up in the morning and dance to the bathroom

Yesterday was insane....

First I did the whole massage series on a guy (there are 3 guys and 14 women, so I hadn't had that opportunity yet). It took 4.5 hours and I was WIPED. Guys are heavier and their muscles are tougher, I guess. This guy also liked a lot of pressure so pffffff. Then, because everyone was so late finishing, the afternoon session didn't start until 5.30 pm and we were not done till TEN! I have to admit that after that long it's hard to stay serious. How do you stay in a meditative state for 9 hours? Hmmm? I am obviously not there yet and started cracking up about halfway through. And 9 hours of 'meditative music'.... Sweet Jesus.

So dinner at 10.30 pm, then class prep for today and then to bed at midnight and up for a 7 am meditation. I massaged all through my dreams so even then I didn't get a break.

Needless to say, I didn't dance to the bathroom this morning. Neither did many other people. But after the dancing meditation this mornings things got a little better. Then the lot of the draw teamed me up with Angela, a lovely German woman, who is funny and has muscles soft as butter. We also had a 3.5 hour time limit. This time I had plenty of energy after I did the massage. Good, because I was getting worried about that.

So rumor has it I will need to do 60 massages for my certification. I'll need your help!
