Showers

I finally tried the plastic bag thing in the shower. Two bags on each foot, each layer taped to my calf.

A little-known fact of physics: slippery footing gets worse by a factor of at least three when you have your eyes closed and soap all over your face.

But I'm clean! I'm clean! Ahhhhhhh! I could rinse my hair with BOTH hands. I could get my legs wet. I could wash my backside. I could stand in the spray and rinse myself in seconds. Every detail was a new joy -- I was having multiple mental orgasms over how wonderful it was to be clean.

I can't wait to be able to wash my feet. I might just pass out with bliss.

I feel the same way about showers after backpacking trips. It's soooooo nice to be clean. Just like you, I then start to take them for granted again after a while! :-)

I haven't had a bath since childhood, I think, unless you count the sort of "part way clean" feeling that comes after soaking in a hot tub or swimming in a stream.
