Today, was interesting. I woke up knowing I was coming down with something but I wasn't sure what. I was looking forward to Dance class and then realized I forgot to print my paper about Alvin Ailey but couldn't because my printer ran out of black ink and I also couldn't find an exam that I wanted to have regraded by my GSI. By the time I realized that the search for the exam was getting me know where and the printer wouldn't even print in purple even though I still have blue and red ink, I was extremely LATE for dance and she made me sit and observe AND take notes.
The rest of the day was productive; I studied lots of skeletal and integumentary system material, I diagnosed my illness and started on my medication, and I came close to finishing retightening my locks. But something happened around 1:30 pm, I am not at liberty to share but lets just say I went into sort of an emotional frenzy/realization/awakening/breakdown; it was intense.
So, here is the therapy I used to feel better:
1) Sat outside in the sun for about 10 minutes, reflecting but trying very hard to clear my mind.
2) Drove to Massage Therapy School and listened to John Legend's "Another Again" (if you don't know this song, listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJf6aeq-PSs : story of my LIFE, SERIOUSLY)
3) Learned and received an effleurage massage. Even though I probably shouldn't have recieved a massage because I'm sick, I was SO heavenly and when I got off that table!...I felt like an entirely new person.
**Effleurage is a long sweeping movement which may be applied superficially or deeply. The client should experience one continuous movement, conforming to the contours of the body.
