Today I took the first long shower that I have taken since before New Year’s.  I write that like New Year’s was oh so long ago when it was really only eight weeks or so but when you really like long showers and have been forced to keep yours to five minutes (do you know how hard it is to shampoo and condition long hair in five minutes?) because of a certain ex roommate person who ate (actually, he probably still eats) super cheap re-heated bean burritos every day which made him have to poo every fifteen minutes or so (though he was absolutely convinced that he had IBS because the symptom list at Dr. WebMD told him so) (and really, how many parenthetical statements can I use in a single paragraph of a blog post?) and then, after he moved out, I still had to worry about his showing up to get his stuff.

Now though he is out, his stuff has been picked up and there is no reason for him to show up unexpectedly! And that? Means that I can take long showers if I want to!  Long showers where the hot water runs out! And I can take as long as I want with the drying off, combing out of the hair, lotioning and other whatnotty girly stuff that normal girls do after taking a shower that I’ve had to rush through for weeks.

It was totally what I needed today.  Yay!
