Symmetrical Muffins

Today I went to the spa. This little oasis of peace in the midst of the chaos of my life is so wonderful. I haven't been to many spa's but I am sure that this one is one of the best. They have this quiet room where you sit in a bathrobe and drink hot chocolate and tea. They have tiny vegetable wraps and chicken salad sandwiches as well as cookies and muffins. Soft new-agey music plays and it is quiet and safe.
I book my massage late in the day and often go early to sit in that room for as long as possible. When I am having dental work or am on public transportation the vision of this room is where I go in my mind. Today while I was sitting there a woman came out and rearranged the cranberry orange muffins so that they were symmentrical. It pleased me immensely to think that I was so important in this world of the spa that they thought to have a special person just to rearrange muffins so it would be visually pleasing. And then after sitting on an Alice in Wonderland sized couch and just being for as long as I wish, I get to get an hour long massage. It is nice to have gentle hands on my back after the harsh words of the world surround me during the day.
