TODAY IN THE SHOWER . . .

Today – when I was getting out of the shower – in a particularly distracted state of mind – I realized that . . . uhm . . . I wasn’t exactly done. I had completely forgotten to wash the shampoo out of my hair.

How ridiculous is that?! I guess that I was planning on just going through the day with a spectacular new shampoo-doo – or something like that. The way that it went down was that the water was off – and I was reaching for my towel and I went to brush the water off of my face – only to find a soap trail that led straight up to the top of my head.

Ridiculous – ridiculous – ridiculous. . .

I then had to do an about face back into the shower – where in my continuing absent-mindedness – I turned the water on while in it’s path – which is nothing short of a direct invitation to either a serious freezing or scalding type of party. I ended up at the colder of the two – which sent me flipping against the wall while my hand tried (quickly) to figure out the proper temperature setting.

Eventually all of the soap went away – and this week’s showering episode was complete.

What?! Is the “weekly” thing getting to you?? Well I did get rained on a couple of times this week . . . so by my book – I am as clean as an unused whistle . . . I was thinking of a train whistle – but I think that they may be kind of greasy – and then regular whistles that have been used are all full of spittle – so that is both not-so-clean and bleagh at the same time . . .

I am as clean as an unused whistle!
