Weekend Getaway

Darvin and I are spending the weekend in Seattle. Northwest School of Massage has a free Partner/Thai Stretching Workshop that we'll be attending this afternoon. Our chiropractor highly recommends any stretching exercises for Darvin in particular. This is a 2 hour workshop that's 'hands on'. They welcome cameras to take pictures of any stretches that are particularly effective. This is great since so much material was presented at their couples massage workshop that it kind of became an overload of information!

We're staying at a Ramada Limited in Seatac. We ate Safeway chinese food and ice cream for dinner last night. Our hotel room has a fridge and microwave, so we have some leftovers we can enjoy later this weekend too!

I've been really sick this week with major congestion in my chest, throat and ears. The airplane trip home Tuesday was horrible with my ears hurting tremendously on each take off and landing. I've been doing a lot of sleeping/resting to try to shake it! Drinking lots of water to loosen up the congestion. I was still feeling pretty bad on Thursday, but have felt better and better each day. Poor Darvin has to listen to my 'barking'. I've coughed so much that I have a chronic sore throat and headache! I was able to sleep through the night last night without using any NyQuil, although I guess I started coughing sometime early this morning, waking Darvin up. Thankfully, he was able to go back to sleep.

Now back from the workshop. It was GREAT! Darvin said he felt great afterward. Unfortunately I tweaked my back trying to do one of the stretching moves on him. Hopefully it won't bother me for long as we need to keep doing the stretching exercises regularly. It seems like the stretching may have helped loosen up my congestion even more, hooray!No Darvin's not praying to an idol god, just practicing one of the stretching moves at the hotel after the workshop!
