If I'm lucky, I'm averaging 2 showers per week.
It's Tuesday. My last shower was Sunday. That's not really a big deal yet.
Before I took that shower last Sunday, my previous shower was Thursday. I was really stinky by then because I had gone walking at the gym.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we skip showers?
I usually come up with great ideas in the shower. I rarely follow through with them, since I'm such a loser. When I'm hypo manic, I get amazing thoughts in the shower and add them to my huge list of things to do, to be, to visit, and to accomplish before I die. That huge list taunts me when I'm on the downside, as I am now.
Now my skin is getting nasty. I was going to make an effort to shave my legs so I could use up some of the pre-paid massages I have built up from my monthly membership at a place in town, but then I realized my shoulders, back, and upper arms have broken out because of this lack of hygiene.
