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

Yeah, Tom showers in the evening, and I shower in the morning. Works out pretty well. I will take a cool rinseoff before bed on hot summer nights, but they do not replace the morning shower.

Tom is the bath lover of the family. I'll take one occasionally but they really relax him.

AM showers, PM baths. but I don't like to get my hair wet at night - it will go every which way in the morning. Most mornings I wakeup and it looks like my hair has been to a party without me. However, if I know I am gardening or doing other things like that I may not shower until later in the day . I need to get the pollen off me, but my skin doesn't like too many showers

Always seems like so much trouble -- running the bath, assembling various bath accessories, figuring out if I want to read something and what -- as to counteract the relaxingness. Plus I fret about how much water is being used up. I envy those who can do it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I, too, have a 7AM meeting, ita. But I am so very glad that it is a teleconference from my home office, rather than something I have to commute somewhere for.

Aargh. Mine's not only not a con call, it's in a strange building with strange people. And my brain is leaking out through my nostrils. I gotta go.

I don't think that's a big fret unless your showers are short, but I don't remember the cutover.

Google tells me it depends.

I'm pretty sure I use less than a full tub of water for a regular morning shower, but I haven't actually tested it. When I had waistlength hair, my showers took forever and a bath probably would have been more energy efficient.

For the threepeat:

Migraine's won. No way I can be coherent in half an hour, even though I could be present. Why can't I ever make it more than a week? Why can't my doctor find a stupid painkiller? Grr.

Okay, back to bed for me.

I think you're right, but it SEEMS like more. Plus, I'd rather not fret over how much I use for a shower, so I've displaced that worry onto the bath. Look, it's my coping mechanism, okay?

ita, I'm so sorry. My mother had to handle migraines for most of her life, but now she hardly has them.

Re showers: I shower in the evening, because I'd like to be clean before I go to bed. In Israeli sweaty summers I also take a shower in the morning or before I have to leave the house. I remember a day when I took 4 showers in 24 hours: morning, before leaving for a concert, after returning from a concert and in the morning after it again. Plus, if I take a shower in the morning, hair goes bananas.

Re article with a cool name (thoughts of death make us eat more cookies): SO needs to be an album title.

Re Kat: all the ~ma in the world.

I can't remember what else I wanted to Re about. So tired. It's so hot. I'm so happy it's weekend in an hour, and a long one, followed by a holiday.

And this morning I sent a picture of my tank top, with me in it, to an internet person (friend) I never met. Seemed reasonable at the time. It must be the heat.

OK, gotta be a good girl now, and wrap work for this week.
