'Often after the [mustard] baths I dream about the heartbreak, but wake up feeling at peace about it, not angry'
Photo: Still Images/Getty Images I don’t usually like people as much as I like mustard, but then I met T. The clichés all proved to be true, and I won’t bore you with them here except to say that T was like honey: Gentle, sweet and hard to remove.
My parents had Finnish friends who would ship a big box of treats every Christmas. I’d dig through the Styrofoam packing peanuts, past the lingonberry jam, the smoked salmon, and the Finlandia vodka, and head right for the mustards. There were three types, housed in stiff tubes with Finnish writing I couldn’t read. I knew them from the color of their caps: green was sweet, red was hot, black was spicy.
My skin turns instantly red. I sweat the type of sweat that starts somewhere deep in your scalp; beads of condensation surround your nipples and your shoulders are dotted in droplets. Somehow, though, it feels good. I set my timer for 20 minutes. Enya, books, business plans have all made fine companions, but my best healing has come when I’m alone, relishing the independence, listening only to the water plunging from the faucet.
