Priceless. A deep tissue massage. Who knew?? Yup-hurt my back a while back and tried nursing it back to health--stretching, pain killers, pain patches, creams. UGH. What a waste of time....I know a massage is expensive BUT I should have bit the bullet 3 weeks ago. It was an incredible experience--one I need to partake in more often. Felt like a new person after my massage--so I decided to drive to Boston to see my daughter. BIG mistake. Traffic was ridiculous and the extended sitting reinjured my periformis. I am so sick of being injured. Is this really part of getting older?? Guess this calls for another visit to the spa. Only wish insurance covered the bill. Gonna have to get a better paying job at this rate. While resting my back this week, I read Fredrik Backman's novel
Anxious People. Set in a small town near Stockholm, Sweden, a bank robber, desperate to keep custody of her children, attempts to rob a bank. After the robbery goes bad, the bank robber flees and tries to hide at an open house BUT ends up holding the potential buyers hostage. The hostages are quite a cast of characters with very different anxieties: Zara, is a bank mangager with a tragic past, Lennart is an actor desperate for a job, Estelle is a widow and my favorite --Roger and Anna-Lena, retirees who flip apartments in a desperate attempt to keep their marraige from getting stale. This story is a little bit of everything--funny, empathetic, insightful even though I thought it was a bit contrived as everyone seems connected by the end of the story. Find out what happens to all involved when you read this quirky book for yourself. Enjoy.
