SEEKING SIMPLICITY

Friday humor, don't worry, it won't be a regular thing as I'm not reliably cheerful every Friday.

And, like the famous clownfish, I'm not really all that funny.

Did you ever get in the shower and do it wrong? I mean, just get in the shower, like you probably (maybe?) do every morning and just for some reason that morning....you do it all wrong? I did that this morning and it was really weird. 
 
If you're anything like me, you probably do exactly the same series of motions in exactly the same order every single time you shower. Unless you're in a strange place and you have to pause to figure out how to work the thing, or rummage around for supplies, or (worse yet) if you're in one of those fancy bath/showers with no curtain and you have to be extra careful not to soak the whole room and the towels with the removable shower head while you're rinsing off. THAT can really throw a person off their game. (Or, if you live where I do and the boiler is broken again and you have to take a cold-water 'camp shower'...ha!) I digress. This is a normal everyday shower I'm talking about, in your own home, at more or less the same time as usual. Not an extra dirty just-did-gardening or ran-a-marathon shower either, but your run of the mill morning shower. 

If you ever thought about it, you do it the same way every time. Right?
It's kind of weird when you think about it, but you most likely do. It would probably take an effort to NOT wash your left leg exactly for the same amount of time, in the same way as always. You would have to stop and think about it if you wanted to go nuts and, like, shave your armpits after your legs for a change, or whatever.... Just a change to the routine would be something you would have to do on purpose.  Well, this morning I got in the shower, business as usual, closed the curtain, etc. and proceeded to act like I'd never taken a shower before. What the?

Let me tell you, it was disturbing. It was much weirder than you would imagine. I have no idea why this happened, perhaps because of the snow? Doubtful, but maybe. Maybe it's a signal that other things can/should change or that other habits may soon fall by the wayside. I don't know.  


All I know is - maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. 



A little poll, just for fun. 
Chime in with your choice in the comment section!

1) I shower exactly the same way every single time, and I think about  it while I'm doing it.
2) I have no idea what you're talking about.
3) None of your business, weirdo.
4) Now I have to think about it and you've just ruined my next shower.
5) Shower?
