You gently commented about my multiple showering thing earlier possibly being
too much of a good thing. I'm not obsessed with my odor either. I wear
deodorant about once a month -- like if I'm going to a wedding or something and
I have never worn any kind of perfume aside from that idigenous to my Shampoo
and deodorant. I prefer the smell of people to perfumes.
Also, I take my many showers and soaks as much to feel good as anything else.
When I spend four hours of back-breaking labor in the garden, I like to shower
the sweat and fatigue away and dip in the hot tub for a fifteen minute read
with a cold beverage. It really is mostly for comfort and I think that
showering (hot or cold!) just feels good.

| (...) Ouch! Yeah, that's a bad error -- but then I rarely spell-check my posts. Thanks for the correction! But, I looked up "bathe" and only the intransitive verb allows for the idea of pouring water over something (the example was a wound), "bathe" (...)
