I love my morning showers, but I have the darnedest time getting myself together enough to actually go take one. Once I'm in, I really can't understand why it took so much emotional effort to get moving towards that moment.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been having the shower-time discussion a lot lately! Several of my coworkers shower at night. I don't, for reasons stated above: hair and waking up.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I detest morning showers but, as a latecomer to the household, I defer to general custom. However, when Hec is away for the weekend doing a book reading or a baseball tournament or whatnot, I revert to nighttime showering. A warm shower soothes my insomniac tendencies, cleans away the day's misery, and makes the next morning slightly less harried. To me, the second best ever nighttime ritual is hot shower+hot toddy or glass of wine+clean PJs+clean sheets.

Oh, I think I'd be more likely to want to do the opposite of my partner, to open up bathroom time!

Oh, happy birthday Dana!
I'm wondering why you have to shower when everyone else does, JZ. As Jesse notes, more shower to yourself!

Well, for one thing, Emmett goes to bed around 9:30, by which time it's pitch dark out, and the bathroom light shines blindingly into his room (the windows are maybe 18 inches apart, so even the blind on his window doesn't help much) and I'm not that keen on showering in the dark. And the noise might wake Matilda, whose crib is six or seven feet from the bathroom door and who loves the sound of running water above nearly all else (except (a) a motorcycle revving and (b) Bjork singing "Human Behaviour").
I could take my nighttime shower earlier, but then it isn't really a before-bed shower, it's an after-dinner shower, and that's a whole different vibe.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I shower in the morning to feel human.
So totally this. I need that time to zone out and the sensation of the water to wake up. Plus, that gives my coffee time to cool so it's drinkable as I get ready for the day.

I go back and forth. In cool weather when I am not actively sweaty, I actually only shower every other day, in the morning. I "wash-up" in the sink the other days. Except in the summer when it is blazing hot and I seat like a pig without airconditioning, and then I often shower BOTH times, at night to cool down and in the am to get unsweaty.
Also, my hair looks so much better the second day!

ION, I now have absolutely no idea when Emmett's game is, or whether he and Hec will be coming home anytime before July.
Game's at 5:30. Over by 7:30 then we BART home so should arrive between 8:45 and 9:00 depending on how lucky we get with Muni.

This is me. Though if it weren't for the hair thing, I could be drawn to the dark (evening) side.
