sunday buzzzzz

I started the day with muesli and yogurt and then a two hour massage with Phat.  She is so sweet and brought me a lunch pail just like her's... (a wiener and lettuce sandwich) ok it is the thought that counts.  When I left there, i felt great...but by the end of the day, my knee and rib cage was again in trauma.  I made it an easy day after the long ride on Sat.  but I did do something different. I have been riding by a spa place that said facials...so i thought... same same but different than the ones in BKK ...NOT.  The receptionist, hired for her English I am sure... suggest the wrinkle remover....give me a break woman...first, i don't have too many for someone with 3quarters of a century behind them... and second,  i have earned them... but what the heck..it will be a new experience.
Electronic collagen infusion was my first what is this.. I asked about  needles and she showed me some machine an implied no needles.   I agree to the expensive treatment which will take an hour and I am led upstairs.... shoes in a little box... and slippers    i am taken to a small room and given a
very small top to put around me with a cord.   now for this kind of money...which I will not tell you but it is more than my rent for 5 days... they should have a top that at least goes around.  In Thailand... I am one of the rotund... but when I go to the x-prisoner spa...Phat knows how to find a gown that fits.   So I put this postage stamp around me and try to tie it to strategic places with the string that they provide... Finally I just took the straps down from the bra and did the best I could to be "clothed" when the technical person comes in with a mask...she obviously could wrap the deal around her several times.  of course she had no English... so her  i am laying on a operating table with a face cloth tied about me about to be attached with some wrinkle remover machine by a masked skinny women.  Am I on SNL.....   how you do anything is how you do everything... i close my eyes and go for a scooter ride in the country... and pretend the  buzzzzzz is the engine.   She did a few things with cream and soap and water and the then slathered me and buzzed half the face until the buzzer and then the other side until the buzzer... whipped the face and said done and left the room...  Did not take me long to gather my stuff and when I went out of the room the English speaking woman was there to take the money...   where is the mirror ...she took me down a hall way to a wall mirror thinking i wanted to comb my hair...no ninny i want to see what you did to me if anything.... It was a pretty dark hall and there was a table in front of the mirror...so I just said.... detach from your face.... and go... On the way home, I found H&H having dinner and the first think Hannah said.... are you losing weight...your face looks thinner...
