Slivered Moons & Almonds

Today was the kind of day when you forget to wear deodarant. Because that is exactly what I did. And the reason I forgot is because I swam laps at the YMCA which means I showered there which means I got ready there which means I forgot at least one important 'getting ready' item. Which means beginning at 3 in the afternoon I tried to keep a generous distance between myself and others.

Deodarant is better than the towel though. That was a tough day. Deodarant is also better than the shampoo, the complimentary soap dispenser at the YMCA is full of what amounts to tar remover. One other thing it is better than forgetting is the bra. Done this one several times, so I for sure know the different ways to get from the locker room to my car without... showing off.

Today was also the day you watch somebody sit down in the YMCA to shower. On the nasty bathroom floor in a public establishment. The type of place where one's feet could get a disease with being properly attired with flip flops. That floor. Somebody sat on it on their bare bottom and washed with soap like they were lounging in a tub.

I kind of felt bad for them that that was their best option... and I kind of felt bad for the next person who used that shower after them too.

MySexyHusband asked why I didn't help them. "Help them what? Soap up?" I asked. No, he thought maybe they had fallen. Except that I watched them walk into the stall and then sit down and leisurely soap all over with their little rag. It was a sight. Too bad the shower curtain didn't hang just a little lower. Who knew that you needed to not only provide coverage from the knees up for standers, but also from the shoulders down for sitters.
