What is it with bathtime?

Showering, I recalled a college mate telling me how she always ran her friends and boyfriends off because that saved her the pain of them leaving. She at least controlled the going, since they were leaving anyway.

Linda mentioned a little girl living near her with attachment issues after her mother tried to drown her. No kidding, huh?

These images and a third were swirling about in my bean as I’m lathering and doing an auto baptism. The third is the description of the dreadful Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice. He was a mix of conceit and humility…

Yup, there I am. Actively driving away any real possibility of intimacy, attachment issues, and oddly over proud, under confident, and ready to look tomorrow in the eye.

Maybe I can become a hermit and quit bathing.

    I think those are two separate issues.

    Kinda figured when I forego cleanliness, hermit is the consequence…stinkers don’t attract much but flies.

    agreed, but if you do go into hermit mode, just remember Festival is the end of Oct, and your hostess (and her sister) would appreciate cleanliness! :))

    Stinky…oh no ! I have an extremely sense of smell. I like hermits.Except their odors..

    I’ve been confined to showers for a few years now. Being a Hitchcock fan, you can imagine what my meanderings do to the head while cleaning. Maybe we should be smelly hermits together!!
