Today, I had a frank discussion with my landlady about how I will be breaking the lease at my apartment and would be moving out in about 2 weeks.
Expecting a hem and haw session about how I can't do that, you signed a lease, etc, I got something much, much better.
My landlady is a full-time property manager and a part-time worker at a spa. As one of the perks of the job, she gets to invite guests for a visit to her spa. Seeing that I was quite stressed and not in the best shape emotionally, she took me to the spa for an 80 minute visit.
It was my first time to a spa and it was lovely.
While my landlady got her 80 minute massage, I got to visit the men's spa and did the following:
1. Took a loooong shower. It was one of those showers that had a waterfall-type shower head. I really felt like I was bathing beneath a heated waterfall.
2. Sat in 2 different Jacuzzis. One was 105 degrees and the other was 99. Both were great.
3. Used the dry sauna. I sat in there for 5 minutes and couldn't take any more. I got claustrophobia.
4. Used the steam room. Very nice. Sat with four naked men...
5. Took a 2nd loong shower. This time with a different setting and colder water...
6. Had a shave and had my hair done. They had free shaving lotion, razors, hair gel and everything. And not just any old stuff, the expensive stuff...
I met a nice gentleman who says he goes to the spa everyday. He poured me a drink and gave me a cold towel while we sat in the Jacuzzi. (And, no, nothing else happened. He was a nice, older gentleman.)
Basically the way this spa worked is that you don't have to bring anything with you. They supply it all. Lush bathrobes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bath salts, refreshments, fruit, bath slippers, everything!
After it was over, I felt great. It was so very wonderful. I recommend it to everyone to do. Treat yourself.
Best of all, she's going to let me out of my lease. I move out on the 15th.
