My life revolves around bath time. In a valiant effort to save the earth by using less water and expending as little energy as humanly possible without actively ceasing to exist, I bathe once every 24 hours. This, as you might imagine, is a rather important determining factor when it comes to planning my day. Massage? Only within 4 hours of bath time. Gym? Eh, maybe after the massage - oil, sweat, no one's going to know the difference. Athletic sex? Can I schedule you in during the shower itself, babe?

Sometimes this makes planning my day a little difficult. Like when I am due for a shower by 5pm, but my plans take me to midnight that day. Then I have to fit another shower in before 5. This makes me crabby. And it also throws off my mental balance because when I get back at night, I feel all tired and still remarkably lemony fresh, which tempts me to hop into bed and put off showering until my allocated 24 hours are up. But then the ground-in paranoia that 24 years of parental admonitions and parental tall tale-telling will give you kicks in, and I start imagining itchy little things biting and burrowing into my pillow, and then I cannot sleep.

Maybe I should start blocking out premium spots in my daily schedule. The hours right before and after bath time are peak hours and command a higher price. One because there is more flexibility in choice of activity, and the other because I will greet you smelling like mint chocolate and Clinique Happy.
