happy presidents day

Post 53 of 90.

I forgot the workplace was closed in celebration of Presidents Day, and so I showed up to an empty parking lot.

OK, so turning things around, I went to Lookout Joe for some caffeine and a bite to eat, went on a walk (my first bit of real exercise this year), and then ran some errands. My main purchase was a water resistant clock/timer for the shower so I can monitor how long I'm in there. There are plenty of times when I get under the hot water and basically trance out. Having longish hair means I spend more time in the shower than if I had a crew cut, but sometimes I'm zoning out in there for a looong time. I don't have to spend that much time in the shower. I don't want to spend that much time in the shower, so I have to do something about it.

I do like hot showers, though. When I was in college, it seemed like every time my friends came to hang out at my apartment, I had just gotten out of the shower. It got to be an inside joke in that crowd.

"What's going on, man? Hair's kinda wet...let me guess...you just got out of the shower?"

"Well, I ,uh...yeah..."

Now down to practice. My guitar calluses seem to be firming up a bit, finally.
