oh how i love a bath! drawn out - - emerging from the suds pink as a lobster...everything else obscured by steam. oh happy day!
my bath - - or shall i say, plumbing has personality....the bath is no sit and steam affair. rather, it becomes after a 3 part process. the first step is to fill the tub with hot water until roughly a third full - when the water becomes cool. wait 10 minutes for more hot water - fill tub to half full. add more hot water again after the 10 minute waiting period and soak.
now at first, this process really pissed me off. the thermostat on the ailing water heater is already set to "High". however, i can adapt. the bath has become a 3 part ritual now - - prior to ever even getting in. the first 10 minute wait is an opportune time to put away dishes (not wash them) hence, prolonging the 10 minute water-reheat wait time. the second wait-period is often spent wandering around the internet sending "gifts" to friends on facebook (throwing snowballs, sending "tangy" plants, and such)...and then it is time for that final addistion of hot water and i'm in.
yes, it is a process - but i've become used to this drawn out experience. the landlords aren't concerned about repairing, or replacing the handicap-placard-entitled water heater - so this is the deal, for now.
i do love an old place with lots of character...but i think i might hold out for a place that doesn't have "Joad" crossed out on the mailbox next go round.
...mmmmm...tiny bubbles....

The mailbox should say Jobe on it, I couldn't deal, but we all know you are a better person than most of us in blogworld.
and a better person would know that it was spelled JOB in the bible.
ha! I'm not so sure about that claim...but I thank you anyway!
now let's not get biblical..."jobe", "job", "job's daughter's"...i'm talking about the joad's here...and "you can't keep a joad in jail!"...so I'm way on the other end of the spectrum...but i still thank you kindly ;)
my patience for hot water is absolutely non-existent, I want that shit hot 10 seconds ago, want the steam coming out before I pull the shower curtain, ya feelin me?
though there is something to be said for making your own steam in a shower, but I digress
i dig. just rub it on...rub. it. in.
well, if you insist
or is it run one out????
typos are contagious today!!!
Can't believe this tete a tete didn't garner more comments!
