At home this morning, things got busy, and before I knew it, I didn't have time to take a shower before class. In addition to my daily morning showers, I often take quick evening showers before bed since they seem to facilitate sounder sleep.* Last night, however, I was up until 1:30 a.m. working, so I skipped it. But I'm often a two-shower-a-day kind of person.
But no shower last night. No shower this morning. I'm still at work, and it's 5:30 p.m.
I feel so grimy. And, perhaps since I'm teaching Twelfth Night this week, I just keep thinking about how grimy those Elizabethan Londoners must have been under all of those layers of clothing as they crammed in next to each other at the Globe.
I'm sorry, I know it's natural, and we're all human, but eeewwww.
*There is some data that seems to support my perceptions. Apparently, we sleep better when our body temp is falling (as it is after a warm shower) rather than rising (which mine does when I slide into my bed with freezing feet, and curl up in a fetal position as I wait for the heavy blankets to work their magic).

This made my day! I do hope you get a shower soon and a good night's sleep.
Showers. Who knew how hard it would be to fit one in at a somewhat regularly scheduled time with a six-week-old? (Before noon is considered regular under the current circumstances.)
I hope the shower you got after your wait was extra pampering :)
