microscrubbers

My beloved went on another business trip – just a short one, for some training. He’s only been gone for one day, and already I miss him (oh, so cliché). He snores; I mean REALLY snores. There are mornings when my daughter gets up, pathetically bleary eyed and grumpy, because she couldn’t get to sleep with all of the noise. It doesn’t bother me at all; I think it’s cute, kind of comforting in a white noise sort of way. In fact, when I wake up at night, even with all of the ambient noise here, it always seems strangely empty without him. Of course, Ivan Grozney (Ivan the Terrible), the hot pink dragon, has moved back into bed with me for the duration, but this time he is sharing the space with Gordon the wooly sheep (a new member). This morning there was a spider in the shower. He kept sliding down his web to about eye height, then he’d scoot back up to the ceiling; he was kind of amusing, but nothing like sharing the shower with my loved one. For one thing, he didn’t keep changing the water temperature. Nothing keeps you on your toes like a sudden, unexpected blast of icy cold water (except that by now I guess I should expect it). Our shower looks like the notions aisle at the grocery store. There are two shampoos, one conditioner, and three body washes. My daughter needs the trendiest body wash – right now she is smelling like electric vanilla (whatever that is). My husband needs scrub – something with huge chunks of scratchy gravel in it; though, his new scrub is not scratchy enough – it still leaves him feeling a little foliated. I use up whatever the other two have decided they didn’t like. Guess I’ll get off to work. I’m going to ride my bicycle today as the weather is fabulous.

Did you know, to stimulate your “ki” flow shower with progressively cold showers (after a warm one to wash) – 10 degrees C for 100 seconds. Do this for 100 days and you will reduce your cold incidence by 50%. Have a cold shower today!!
