Taking a Bath



Yeah, he drew a heart in the bubbles.

This week was…let’s just say not the greatest week I’ve ever had. I got to the level of upset beyond crying and just relatively comatose. This is pretty standard for me, my brain will only let me have so many emotions and then it’s like “that’s enough of these feeling things for you” and I kind of just go nuetral. Well, many things added up this week and I got to that point on Wednesday. So, when Josh picked me up from work we talked a little, he took me out to get my favorite soup and then when we went home he drew me a bath.

We had talked a few days before hand just in passing how it’s been years since I’ve had a bath (since I’m a shower girl) and it used to be something I would do to relax. So, he started the water running, found random Star Wars bubble bath that my sister had given him for Christmas, lit all the candles he could find and started some Explosions in the Sky playing softly. It was magic. I sat in that water and (carefully) read my kindle for at least an hour…maybe two (okay, it was two) and I didn’t realize the candles shouldn’t have been bright enough to read by until I looked up and saw my book light clipped to the shower shelves.

That boy thought of everything. I think this is going to become the nice (FREE) thing he does for me when things just aren’t going my way & you are not going to hear me complaining about that!

Do you love baths? What do you do to relax?
