I can’t even hear myself think. This morning I stayed in the shower for almost an hour just to get my real-life/reality bearing back. This one takes the cookie for today, no? I am a strange person. (I am often assailed by brilliant ideas while in the shower, too. Must be the shampoo - orchid and coconut milk, a strange combination with a beautiful result - yes another reason why opposites attract).
for years “washing my hair” has been an almost religious activity for just this reason— i somehow get back to myself while i shampoo, and i always solve problems or have great ideas that i simply wouldn’t have if i weren’t washing my hair. so many of my stories start, “well, while i was washing my hair earlier, i…”
this is all to say, you’re not alone.
also, your shampoo sounds like one of the most amazing things ever. orchid and coconut milk? sigh.
Yeah…this seems to keep happening. The fact that I’m mostly stuck with myself all day lately, since I haven’t found a summer job yet (high on the list of things that make me feel terrible about myself, at the moment), and that I’ve done very little writing really doesn’t help.
