Day Spa

How badly do I need to have a weekend spa retreat? I submit the following as evidence of my neediness:

1. As I was preparing for surgery on Thursday (don't worry, I'm alive and kicking as I type), they mentioned that I would be getting general anesthesia so I would be totally under instead of a different type with which you are more easily aroused. I said the following: Oh good! A nap!, to which the nurse replied that I need to get out more.

2. They inserted my IV and I got a little wobbly over the fact that it took 3 tries. In response, my extremities turned into ice cubes. As they brought me blankets, fresh from the warmer, I became positively rapturous. I believe I even shivered in anticipation.

3. When they wheeled me into recovery they said I could have family back immediately to see me, or I could stay a little longer and take a nap. I chose the nap. Shhh... don't tell!

I will be starting a fund to send me to a day spa - I'm thinking of calling it something along the lines of SAVE THE PATHETIC MOTHER. I'm looking into getting non-profit status so that you can deduct it from your annual taxes. Just think about it. That's all I ask.
