From the Things You Take For Granted Dept. - Showers. →[More:] While I've never been accused of being the most well-groomed guy in the world, I always started the day with a nice hot shower, a shampoo and a shave. For the past three weeks, showering has been more or less impossible, so I've had to settle for spongebathing every few days and washing my hair in the sink about as often. Now, since I can't really go out, I realize that looking spiffy isn't all that high a priority, but I never realized how much a brisk shower wakes you up and how sluggish and filthy you feel without one. So enjoy your shpritz, folks.

Dude, I just got out of my first shower in a couple days, and I thought of you in your cast.

And then I masturbated.

are you still in MD? or are you back in NYC?

(and thanks for the thought)

I masturbated IN the shower. Now I feel sluggish, filthy AND clean.

For days when i lack the energy to shower, I have three color-coded washcloths at the sink. Every morning the one for my armpits is stiffer than a dead cat (or a cot sock to keep on topic).

Oops, wrong day for dead cat metaphors.

No offense to cat people, but Ardiril, you made me laugh outloud.

Jonmc, didn't they give you a rubber for your cast? (also trying to keep on topic). Or you could use a garbage bag tied around your leg, and stick it out of the shower.

Yo bro, I'm still in MD. Throat still sore, and mom's still pouring TLC down my gullet, so I may be a couple days yet. I'll be over as soon as I get back to town, and I meant that about running errands for youse.

Plastic bag it jonmc - when I had my hand in a cast for six weeks (and another two months with a removable cast) I wasn't about to stay out of the tub/shower but it did make hairwashing an interesting game every day (how do you get the right amount of shampoo with just one habd?), and hey i can still type pretty fast with just one hand though shifting is hard. Plastic bags and rubber bands are your friends.
