Another sad day. It’s been rainy and cold, but at least we haven’t had tornadoes or blizzards, so I’m grateful for that. I also had another massage tonight, during which I found out my massage guy is leaving. (Insert crying here.) He found a job outside of massage and has plans to go back to school for engineering. He was very apologetic about it, knowing I’ll need to find someone new. However, I told him as disappointing as it is for me, I’d never want to hold someone back from something better for them. He promised to look at the schedule and recommend someone else in the practice who can best continue helping me. Sigh.

The downside is that tonight was my last massage with him, and I really liked him. Not only did he know where my trouble spots were, he was genuinely nice. The upside is that he’s already helped a lot, and the practice is primarily for physical therapy, so most working there are used to therapeutic massage, rather than massage for relaxation. I’m sure someone new can continue my healing. And for that, I’m thankful.
