The blessed shower

For me a shower is more than a shower.

I use it to wake up, warm up, think up all kinds of thing be it a blog, lunch plans or the next chapter in a book I'm writing.

I let the hot water pour over me (unless it is summer when the water is cooler) washing out all tension.

Thus when I wasn't allowed to take a complete shower for two weeks it felt awful.

That doesn't mean I was dirty. There are bidets and I could shower from the waist down as long as my breast scar didn't get wet.

And I could shampoo my hair my kneeling over the bathtub.

However, today that all ended.

I took a full shower and shampoo and I blessed every drop of water. Didn't use it to write though. Maybe tomorrow.
