I haven’t had a bath in over two months!
Sadly, the cottage is far from perfect. No laundry, no bath tub…no joy!
Every night I squish my grimy body into my coffin-sized shower stall and perform a series of contortions in an attempt to come out cleaner than I went in.
I miss bathing so much that the idea of languishing in a tub of warm water, wine glass in one hand, novel in the other is never far from my thoughts.
I’d almost given up on my squeaky clean dreams when I found the answer–public dog baths!
For $10, one can enjoy a hot soapy interlude at the pet supply shop. Granted, it may not be as private as I’d like, but it’s a bath!!!
If staff try to tell me this opportunity is only for dogs, I’ll have one thing to say: woof!
Friends, if I play my cards right, the word of the day might just be splash.

HAHA great post, but I feel ya! When I left the wasband I roomed with a lady that seldom cleaned her tub/shower. Mold and mildew just covered the grout making it impossible for me to clean once I moved in. Needless to say, six months of quick showers and dreaming of the day of when I could lay down and soak in a tub came to an end. NOW I relax in my clean tub all the time!!

Ewww–mildew! Glad you escaped the mold house and now enjoy relaxing baths. I can’t believe how much I miss a bathtub–way more than I miss my rotten, good for nothing ex!

With wine glass in one hand, novel in the other, let’s hope you don’t get a flea bite in the bath and need to scratch.
