friday #2

Because I'm a dork, i was having this surge of happy feetedness, and had to call my friend Kelleygirl to tell her how excited I was that Squam is coming up quick. she pointed out that 1 month from today, we'd be lugging our supplies and suitcases into a huge, rustic cabin on a lake and taking a deep breath. (and hopefully not hitting a tree this year). GULP. One Month?? I'll never be ready! I have sterling and avertine and turquoise and jade and opals and all manner of sparklies covering my workbench, waiting to be made into beautiful mementos of that week. one month? yow. so in my typical dork-like fashion, i decided to buckle down and get busier (although, i was up at 1am and working by 1:30). i decided to shower and get serious. more serious. but still lighthearted. now, we have this shower, okay? it has 2 shower heads...1 for a short person who likes very hot water except in the summer and then likes cooler water, and 1 for a tall, lefthanded person who prefers moderation in his water temperature (and only in that category). sort of a human carwash. the nights and mornings have been very cool lately. i turned on the showerhead for the short person, and realized the water was Way Too Cool for the day. but - in order to make it warmer, i'd have to walk through the stream of too cool water to reach the controller thing. and the spray was set on "power wash" in order to get the conditioner out of my hair last shower. the point of this pointless post (and i apologize for wasting your time) is to warn you that sidling through a Too Cool water cannon sideways will not, repeat not, help in the least. the water is water...it doesn't know or care if you're too hot/cool/short, etc...so you can't trick it into not knowing you aren't there by moving through it sideways. water is unknowing...it is water. just water. so you see, my apologies to you are well founded, and hopefully well received. carry on.
