You know you're winning at life when you have been wearing the same socks for the past 3 days and also can't remember when you last showered. Stop the world I need to get off!

Lol. Get a shower. It's always refreshing. (Put on clean clothes after!)

I won't even admit to how often I change (or don't change) my underwear.

Wait, you are supposed to change clothing? I just wash mine in the shower along with the rest of me.

Thanks for the laugh guys, and I so do this too sometimes.

Twelve Steps of the Aquaphobics.

1- Turn on the shower.
2- Try to get your arms wet at the same time.
3- Progress to the face.
4- Remove used underwear and throw it out of the bathroom.
5- procede to enter the shower half wet.
6- Let the water run over the dry skin.
7- Find and apply soap liberally.
8- Bend and rub soap in hand several times thru the legs.
9- Wash hair with smelly shampoo if completely wet.
10- Rest of the body now like exercise.
11- Repeat the procedure again. Remember this is an event.

I have no idea why something that takes ten minutes and makes me feel worlds better is so hard to get up the energy to get started. I swear deciding to shower is the worst part of my morning. The actual showering is no big deal, but the energy expended leading up to it is mind-bending.

I swear if anyone ever figures it out they'll likely find the key to the universe.

If you get a boyfriend or girlfriend, you could combine that with your bored shower routine. Sure cure for boredom!

I just made showering daily a law for myself few years ago.

I do not have to wash my hair every single day as that's actually unhealthy.

From start to finish it takes me about 10 mins total and walking out of the bathroom and I feel so much better.

I do have all kinds of great smelling body washes that really helps.

Water is just soothing to me
