i can't find my ipod. i think i lost it.
this is apocalyptic. for sure.
in other news, it's raining. raining raining raining. and it's cold. neither of these two things are any help when it comes to taking a shower.
allow me to explain.
in my younger days i would love taking a nice shower when it's chilly out. (actually, in my youngest days, i hated showering. it was such a waste of time and you just got so wet.) by the time i was old enough for high school and for driving, if it was snowy or rainy or a particularly cold morning, i would drag myself out of bed and hurry to the hot shower. and there i would stay. under hot water staying warm, singing to myself, keeping my eyes closed, keeping myself warm and comfy. and then my dad would shout from downstairs that the city called and i was draining them of their water supply. and then my mom would come banging on the bathroom door that i was gonna be late for school.
and then i was late for school.
but the shower was always a nice remedy to the cold and chill of morning. here in uganda it's not supposed to be cold. or chilly. unless of course you're taking a shower.
cold cold water.
as of this morning i had gone about a week without any sort of shower. face washing. hand washing. deodorant applying. this had been my hygiene regimen for a while.
regimen is a good word. not as good as paperclip though. listen to all those consenants! PaPerCLiP.
so last night i knew that the next morning i would have to wash this mess of hair. and i woke up to rain. rain rain rain. and cold.
but don't worry, i washed my hair. i stood in my pajamas with my head under the sink, cursing the cold and the rain and the puddle i was making on the floor at my feet. my monkey slippers looked up at me equally miserable with their cold shower.
i want my ipod.
maybe this is a lesson. do without music. do without your hair. agreed? anyone? probably not... don't worry i haven't done it yet. but i'm looking into it.
just think of all the cold water i would save!

I suddenly have the damien rice song in my head.
ps. I have heard that if you wait 28 days without washing your hair. it basically cleans itself. I have no experience but I know how much I hate cold showers :(
one day i tried taking a cold shower, or at least i dreamed i did. just to see how other folks live without water heaters.
it was terrible. and though i still can't remember if it was a dream(nightmare) or a reality, my verdict stands:
any water not capable of producing steam should not be stood in.
i say boycott.
i'm sorry i we can't
don't know what that last sentence was saying
Love the neww decor atop the blog! :* (doesn't that mean smooch?)
warm showers.
probably what i miss MOST.
i cant wait. and yes, the city might run out, but as soon as i get back to the states it is kisses for the family then hours in the shower.. aaaahhh sounds amazing.
