The Greatest Thing

Scrub a dub dub, I can’t seem to find the tub…. August 28, 2010

I know, I haven’t posted anything in quite some time. I went back to school, I fell in love, I started working a LOT more. My family went through a few health issues as well- but it’s all good, we’re (mostly) healthy now and (mostly) happy as well, which is the important part.

I have a conundrum. My family has always lived in a house with just one bathroom. It doesn’t work out so terribly, if you time things the right way. However, if you don’t, you can run into issues.

I can never take a shower when I want to. It never fails, I’ll say that I have work in the morning and have to be out by a certain time, and call dibs on the shower for first thing in the morning. Morning comes round and as soon as I turn the water on, someone is banging on the door that they need to be out NOW and have to take a shower. Or I’ll walk out of my bedroom, all ready to walk into the shower, and someone will run ahead of me and hop in. FOR AN HOUR. So I end up having to go about my day with last night’s hair and stubbly legs, and hope that I can get in before I go to sleep.

This is an issue. My hair looks terrible, my legs are all prickly. It’s been three days that I haven’t been able to do more than wet my hair and tie it back. THREE DAYS. In summer. In long pants, because I’m Greek and I get a 5 o’clock shadow on my legs, three hours after shaving them. We’re going into a heat wave, and school starts again on monday. If I don’t get a tan on my legs again I’m going to hurt someone. Namely, the next person to steal my shower time.
