PAMPER
My mother woke me up this morning and said that Papa wants to go out of town and asked if I wanted to go. I declined because I am still not feeling too well. I have this whoofing cough and the sputum that comes with it. So I was supposed to go out and all but my body can't take all these alcohol and whatever else abuse I have been taking in. So off went my parents with my brother to Monterey. Actually, my sister, Kring, just told me that my parents headed to Salida (in Northern California) to my auntie Vicky's pad. It's funny because it seemed like my parents have lore life than me. Actually, I suggested that they should go out of town just to get away from everything. Mom deserves it. She has been working so hard the past few days. Papa, on the other hand, is getting so bored.
So they left and they had all these things of errands listed for me to take care and I already did it all. I had to babysit my siblings not that they need babysitting but more like, someone to be the authority whil emy parents are not home. I cleaned my room and the kitchen. I instructed my sister Kring to clean her room, too and LA, our baby brother, to clean the family and living room. We got all these house cleaning and all the other stuff done and we were so bored the whole day. There's nowhere to go because it was raining cats and dogs here in LA. We were surfing the net, or the cable channels.
I am so bored that I decided to soak myself up in my parent's jacuzzi. They have a jacuzzi/spa on the master bath. So I filled it with the scented bubble bath liquid. I turnedd off the light, lit up the candles, turned on the radio, and soaked myself and lie there for almost two hours. I let the spa massage every aching muscle in my body from head to toe.
While in the spa and listening to slow jams played on the radio, I started thinking of Glenn. I was actually expecting I would probably start crying because I miss him. I didn't. It helped laying there and letting all your problems and frustrations go away. For instance, Glenn is slowly drifting out of my thoughts and I expected this will be a gradual change and the conflicts with my friends, I am just draining it down the drain. And it felt so good. The vibrations from the spa, mentally and physically stimulated me leaving my body and mind relaxed and pampered.
I did my nails and applied mask on my face and lie there...as if I am sleeping for what it seemed endless hours. It felt good. I took a shower and did a hot oil treatment on my hair and body scrubbed my whole body with this minty soap. I also exfoliated my face with some minty facial scrub to remove the dead pores.
It was so helpful laying there and not worry about anything. I meditated on things that are inspiring. And purposely forget everything that's been a negative force in my life lately. I felt good inside and out. Not only did I pampered my entire body, but relaxed my mind and soul as well.
As I am sitting here in front of my computer, I could smell the Irish Spring soap I used to soap my body, and the natural scent of the Herbal Essence conditioner I shampooed my hair with. I am running my fingers through my hair and not a single tangle.It's completely smooth and straight. I am so relaxed that my eyes are almost closing down on me. I can't wait to lie down inmy bed with my newly changed and laundried cream colored, bamboo printed bed sheets. Nothing compares to the comfort of throwing yourself on top of your fluffy bed. I love how the bed sheet are so soft and a bit cold. I love the smell of Downey onthe sheets and on my pillow cases. I rub my toes to the sheets and in a minute, I would close my eyes and fall asleep. To top it all, the sound of raindrops outside are especiallysoothing to my ears. The cold and wet climate makes me even want to go sleep ever more. It's raining, cold, and breezy here in LA.
Try pampering yourself or with the one you love even just for once. I would rather have someone to pamper me but I have no one right now. But doing it alone doesn't hurt either. It's very self satisfying. You feel good with yourself and at the same time, you're boost up to go face another challenging day. Try it. You'll thank me for it, I guarantee it.
