SIX
Today I had a shower sitting down. I’ve definitely sat down while taking a shower before (many times) however this time round I was on the shower floor from start to finish, not just for one moment of laziness/dizziness.
I was in there for 15 minutes. I was quite hungover.
As I let the water beat on my back, feeling more like warm rain then water flowing from a tap, I had a flashback to balmy nights and sticky days and couldn’t help but crave the comfort of summer.
Maybe it was the fact that I’d been drinking 3 nights in a row, or that I’d slept for an unusual 8 hours straight, or that my body was aching from the battering I have been giving it lately; but during my sit-down shower, a warm tear mixed with the warm water and it wasn’t altogether sad. It was just a little bit lonely.
Sit-down-shower: highly recommended, though only on special occasions.
