Weird “Coinkydink” of the Day
Three summers ago (that would be 2003 for those of you who are keeping score), I was in a nasty car accident in Northern Ireland. Yes, you read that right - Northern Ireland. Nothing broken - just cuts and bruises and pulled muscles and a lot of pain. The rental car didn’t make it however. Anyway, when I came back home to the States, I started going to a massage therapist to help my back pain (and it totally did, let me tell you). My bro-in-law is a massage therapist, but something about laying naked on a table with only a sheet covering me and having my husband’s brother touching me just didn’t sit well with me…lol! So instead, bro-in-law recommended a friend of his that lived a lot closer to us anyway. I started going to her once a week and we paid her by trading Mike’s handyman skills for her magical hands.
Then, I got pregnant. And with all the complications and morning 24/7 sickness I had, I stopped going to see her. Over the months I’ve thought about going to get a massage when my back was aching or something like that, but it’s not like I think about her on a regular basis. However, this morning as I was trying to go back to sleep I was thinking about her (yes I had muscle aches…lol) and wondering if Mike had worked off all the trade yet. I finally fell back asleep and that was that. But then later this morning, after we were all up and around, I heard Mike talking on his cell phone and wandered back with the baby to see what was up. I’m sure you’ve guessed already that it was the massage therapist who needs some work done on her condo. Crazy.

I’d have to babysit until Baby Girl was 30 to work off the work he’s done for me!

I don’t blame you for not wanting Mike’s Bro to be “working on you”. If your massage turned out anything like mine, well… that’d be all sorts of bad haha ;)

That would be very weird to have your brother-in-law as a massage therapist.
And your massage therapist calling for work, that is a sign that you need to have another massage!
