Annoying is deciding that I really, really need to take a shower before going to bed, announcing I am going to go take a shower, and my husband declaring he was just about to go take a shower … which means I relinquished my shower rights to him, since he has to go to work early in the morning. Of course, I also have to get up early in the morning, earlier than he does (to make coffee and check the weather), but I could go back to bed once he’s gone to work. Still … I really, really want to take a shower, and now I’ll have to wait for him to finish and then wait again for the hot water to get totally hot again. Not that I was ready to hop into bed anyway, seeing as it’s Sunday night and I haven’t, as usual, not finished with the late started laundry yet.

Anyway … annoying, indeed.

And while I’m griping, you know what else is annoying? Not having had a proper sit-down soak-in-a-tub bath for over five years. When we bought the house, I didn’t think this would bother me, since I prefer showers, but I find after all these years that I do, in fact, miss having a nice bubble bath every rare once in a while. With candles, and new age music, and peaceful soaking.
