Has it been awhile since you took a bath? How did 21 bags of leaves make me take a bath?
I’m talking tub plugged, water to the top, you’re in the bottom, and the tub contains your emerged body…
No phone, no cell reception, no need to intervene, you’re in a daze.
I wanted to do something outside of my usual trend. Blog about something different.
My wife is putting down my son Andoni and my back has been hurting all week.
More about taking baths
Did you know people in Australia take showers more than any other nation?
9% of them shower three times per day. Sound crazy?
Australians have the status of being one of the cleanest nations on the planet. 90% of women and 80% of men bathe or shower at least once daily according to a 2008 report by the SCA, a leading global hygiene company.
Previous research by Energy Australia revealed 29% of us hit the shower twice daily, while 9 per cent boasted three showers a day. Compare this to the shower-shy Chinese: 50 per cent claim to wash twice a week, while in Sweden less than 50 per cent of women bother with a daily wash.

Because I decided to generate 21 bags of leaves with a lot of manual side to side motion.
The leaf blower or sucker is great for blowing dirt around but for blowing leaves, I think I bought the wrong product.
Stupid lawn care purchases, lol.
So, I’m in the bath and I’m blogging about it. The bathtub is leaking, that’s most of what’s going on.
You know how the tub drains into the pipe?
The waterfalls and hits the bottom of the pipe, trickling with each drop.
“Who knows how old this bathtub is..”
Closing my eyes is nice when taking a bath, I can hear the sound machine in the other room.
The ocean with a mixture of rain.
The sway of an ocean, the perpetual rock of the waves, the rocking motion we hope that will put out son to sleep and my phone out of the tub.
Long story short if it’s been a bit since you took a bath, indulge.
Next time I decide to fill 21 bags of leaves, I’ll consider doing a bath right away, not later.
No rewards for two baths per day.
No one will reward you for eating taco bell with fire hot sauce.
And no one will reward you for making 21 bags of leaves. Each weighing 60-70lbs, easily.
I waved at the nice men throwing the leaves in the truck, they didn’t seem to be as excited as me.
I only went outside to see if they would actually take 21 bags of leaves.
Because the week before I had 6 bags ready, 3 feet from the curb, and they didn’t bother picking anything up. Challenged accepted.
That will teach you to mess with my dynamic yard output.
Alright, time to turn this hot water up, have a good day.
Tips for taking the best bath…
Step 1: Clean Your Bathroom, they say it’s not bad to cut down on the disorder before your tub time.
It’s hard to relax in disordered, dirty surroundings, so take a few minutes to straighten up, wipe everything down, and maybe shake out your bath mat and give the floor a quick sweep, as there is nothing worse than emerging from the tub, all blissed out, only to have your joy stolen by the feeling of grit and hair sticking to your feet.
The Date-Night Bath?
The date-night bath is similar to the beautifying bath, only a little less aggressive, and a little more mood-enhancing. You could do a face mask, but I don’t like to do any intense or new facial treatments before a date, just in case my skin reacts poorly. Sensual, fragrant bubbles are must for the date-night bath, either by way of this bubble bar or (once again) a wonderfully scented Teal’s product. A playlist is also needed, preferably something a little sexy but still relaxing. Cigarettes After Sex is my current go-to for cultivating date-night bath vibes. Feel free to use it yourself.
