Having someone want to take care of you without you having to pay them money for a massage or training or whatever service.\u00a0\u00a0 I could stop thinking about work or the fact that I have to lose like 7 pounds and I already feel so thin, the fact that I&#8217;m catching a cold&#8230;whatever.\u00a0 It was all gone, and after Megumi finished, I felt better, and then went to sit in the Gold&#8217;s Gym hot tub.<\/p>\n<p>I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 3:30, went back to sleep until 4:45.\u00a0 Now I&#8217;m eating breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve really been enjoying reading the book &#8220;Clan of the Cave Bears&#8221; on the train, on the commute to work and the gym.\u00a0 I started it because I remember my best friend Kathleen from middle school loved it, but someone had told me it had sexual violence in it.\u00a0 That bothers me a lot.\u00a0 A lot a lot. I stopped reading Melanie Rawn for that reason.\u00a0\u00a0 I always avoided The Clan, but I&#8217;ve always been interested in reading the book, so what the hell. If it bothers me too much, I&#8217;ll chuck the book.\u00a0 But I heard that some kids had to read it for school, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_87\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/clan-of-the-cave-bears-cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87\" title=\"The Clan of the Cave Bear\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/clan-of-the-cave-bears-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-87\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Clan of the Cave Bear<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m always super busy, but this week I feel like I&#8217;ve been pretty mentally busy, too.
