Don’t worry; though most of my essays are quite controversial, I won’t be going into showers vs. baths.

In elementary school, someone on the school bus was accusing me of taking cold showers. I retorted saying I once took a shower so hot I collapsed when I got out of the shower. A small exaggeration, yes, but I do remember that one time.

I kill so much time in the shower. I have no concept of time once I enter the shower vortex. Unless I go in with the intention to take a fast shower, I feel like I could spend hours in there.

It’s weird to think what I do in the shower. I’ll soap myself up… shampoo. But most of time time is just spent standing under the hot water. I spend too much time just standing there. I guess that’s what you call procrastinating on life.

To be more productive in the shower though, I recently started brushing my teeth. Not an uncommon thing, but apparently it was a little bewildering to those I share my shower with. Next step is to find a suitable a mirror to put in there so I can shave as well. I have a lot of my great ideas while I’m just standing in the shower idle. That’s why this waterproof notepad appealed to me. I don’t think there’s much else I could do to be more productive.

The idea that inspired this post was me wondering if there were people who stood in the shower as they turned on the water, or if everyone turns the shower on and waits for it to warm up before stepping in (even if the wait is only moments.)

There’s nothing worse than cold showers. They are so rough. My family can attest to the number of cold showers we had to take growing up because of our boiler frequently breaking.

I think saying “warm showers” should be a new way to wish people well.

Warm showers everyone.
