So did you go for some massages afterwards
No,
@Bricktop!!! (LMAO) (You’re a funny guy)
You know how it goes. A little hard work never killed anyone, especially if you are exercising regularly and working around the house, anyway.
You wake up a little stiff and sore from contorting your body in awkward positions and falling on your ass a few times, landing on soft snow. You take a hot shower, drink a cup of coffee and you are as good as new.
Strange and ironic as it might sound, “massage” is usually never for soothing tight and sore muscles, anymore. Especially when stretching and yoga, hot epson salt baths, and a steamy hot shower are more than adequate for relief in most cases.
“Massage” in today’s parlance is the new alternate word for “sex,” or so it seems, at least amongst “our types.”
But, Thank God, my SO still goes by the old Webster’s Dictionary outdated definition of the term. After a hard day she actually tells me I should take care of myself and get a massage, and who the hell am I to argue with the lady?!!!!!!
So,
@Bricktop, if your question (and don’t think I missed your sly insinuation in the question; in fact, I even felt you smirk and snicker) is, “Did the snow shoveling require me to go to the nearest AMP for immediate sensual pleasures?”
The answer is “no, I thought about it, but the AMP’s were probably all closed, due to the snow storm. And, being forewarned of the snowstorm the day before, and knowing I would be boxed in for a few days, I wisely went for an “ahem, massage.”
Had to give a bigger tip than usual because of Chinese New Year, “Year of The Water Tiger.”
The girl also asked me for the traditional Chinese “red envelope” given on this holiday, with an undisclosed amount of money inside. I told her that I am fresh out of red envelopes and she told me that she can provide me with a courtesy red envelope free of charge, as long as I stuff it with money. Realizing it comes but once a year, I reached back into my pocket for another twenty.
