Showertime

I didnt realize how severely my online journal is lagging behind my actual journal, which is now upwards of 80 pages long. Lost in all the mix, I havent even written about my shower routine! This needs to be noted.

First, imagine the most paralyzingly cold water youve ever known. Think water, with just a few ice crystals left in the glass. Youre watching those ice crystals melt. Theyve melted. Good. Now dump the water down the back of your neck. Thats right. Now take that sensation, and imagine that youre no longer standing in the comfort of your home, but in a large waterfall. A waterfall in Greenland.

So heres what I do.

Face first to wake up. I first wet my hair but refuse to let that dryicechilled water drip down my back. Then my right hand goes in. Then left. Next, right arm up to the shoulder. Then left. Then I cup then hands and rub dryicechilled water down my chest. Then the legs, letting water hit mid thigh, but only on the sides. The outsides. Finally, the worst part (use your imagination) and then I jump back, yelp, and apply soap. Soap is on, and im IN! Wheeewwwww!!! My breath implodes and a paralyzing stiffness takes hold of my neck. Then warmth. From my head on down. A little. Then Im done. With the body that is. I have no sink, so as Im naked and shaking, I hurriedly brush my teeth. You should try it some time. I guarantee youll never feel more awake.
