Between my extra hard bed, ergonomically lacking office chair and walking over all sorts of uneven walking surfaces my poor back, hips and neck are all suffering. Normally, I'd hit up the chiropractor to crack the pain away, but no such thing here....well there is, but not that I'd trust. (See Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations Uzbekistan.) With this in mind, I'm thinking about a massage. However, that requires me to be mostly nude with a stranger man/woman - handling me. I've had two massages in my life, both by my trusted friend C. (Who btw, is an excellent massage therapist, if you're in the Waterford/Clarkston MI area and are looking let me know.) I may have to go downstairs to the spa area and do a survey of the spa and the employees. I don't need someone telling the rest of the staff all about my bits and pieces. However, I'm in some pain and need to do something about it.
In other hotel related news, I have a new (stalker) friend. One of the waiters has taken an all too unwelcome interest in me. He makes sure that he brings me my room service orders and if I'm walking through the lobby he makes sure I notice him. Friday night he kinda creeped me out because when dropping off my soup he told me how beautiful and nice I am and that he wanted to sit and talk to me Saturday night. I was like...mumbling (warning bells in my head.) uh, I'll check my schedule. From then on, I was avoiding him, crossed the line buddy. Saturday night, I slink down to the hotel restaurant to get out of my room and he came literally RUNNING into the restaurant. I was thankful that I had a different waitress, but he was hovering around waiting for me. When I left, I barely mumbled hello to him and avoided eye contact. I hope that he gets the point, if not...I'll either have to be mean to his face or tell his supervisor that I'm feeling stalked. I realize that there is an interest in Americans here, but he's gone way beyond that. I don't feel comfy getting a coffee or going downstairs because he'll be there. If I have to talk to his Supervisor I know for sure he'll be fired. No doubt in my mind. At the same time though, I don't like being watched constantly. This is my temporary home, I left one hotel because stuff was taken from my room...now I'm being watched excessively. I can't win.
