busybee comics: Journal

On Saturday, my sister, a college friend of hers, and I went to Ojo Caliente, a spa built around a natural hot spring.

It was pretty relaxing.

Part of the package we got included a “wrap,” where after you get hot…

They put you under a warm blanket to “detoxify” you.

After I got past the thoughts of this being the premise to a cheezy science-fiction movie where aliens trick humans into willingly being mummified so their organs can be harvested to make pâté, I found it quite relaxing and meditative.

Afterwards, my sister asked me how it is that I’m so good at getting into a zen state, anyway.

“I had a lot of practice in high school English,” I said.
