This week Kelly and I started taking the kids hiking. The plan is to hike three days a week and do something like climbing on the weekends. Sounds like a fun plan to me. Wednesday, by the time we finished I didn't have time to go home, take a shower, and eat lunch before time to leave for work. So we swung by Blimpie and Kelly dropped me off at the hospital because there is a shower in the locker room. I was in such a hurry I didn't realize that I didn't have any of the basics for taking a shower other than the water. I got a handful of liquid soap from the restroom to use as shampoo and body wash, then had to undress without spilling it or getting it all over the inside of my shirt. It wasn't until after my shower that I thought about how I would dry off. On the changing bench there was one of those 15" dia. toilet paper rolls, and because the restroom is in a different location than the shower I reasoned that the toilet paper roll had been brought there for a reason. Perhaps somebody else had found themselves in the same predicament? I gave it a try but, as you could probably guess, the t.p. fell apart and rolled up on my skin. All I could find to dry off with other than my dirty clothes were shoe covers. They weren't absorbant at all, but I was able to squeegee the water the off. Today we were late again so I had to take another shower at work. This time I called ahead and had a guy I work with bring me a towel from the O.R. The soap was still an issue however.

after a little while of thinking about what you said, i've decided to not only acknowledge your story, but do it publicly.
i asked you at the time if you wanted me to ridicule you instead of not saying a word, to which you responded (something along the lines of), "any kind of acknowledgement would be nice."
so, here it goes.
first, i would like to commend you on your personal hygiene. you've taken the time to clean up for your collegues and, i know this for a fact, they'd be thankful if they endured the ride to work that i did with you. if you were not pressed for time, i'd think you showering before work would be something to raise suspicion. heaven forbid you scare off the pretty nurses you work with by the smell of.....let's just say exercise.
second, i applaud your ingenuity (and detest my lazines when it comes to spelling and grammar. at times like this i wonder if i've married the real life mcguyver. i mean, after the getting the keys out of the locked car using the antenna and shoelace incident, i started wondering, but this almost confirms what i've thought for so long.
now, i have told you what i think about the whole thing. sorry that i could not articulate this aloud. i was just astounded by the fact that you wanted ridicule over me just smiling and nodding...i thought i was doing you a favor.
