think there may be a correlation between the times when I'm sick and accidentally dropping things in the toilet. I've become very good at catching falling items because of past casualties, but when I'm sick I'm just not on my "catch the thing before it falls in the john" game. I've already lost a brush, hair binder and tube of lipstick this morning to the toilet (you think I would've learned to shut the damn lid after the first loss!). When Living with Lu I dropped my phone in the toilet - but that was due to too much Jack, which I guess can be seen as an illness...
Back to today - While at the gym I was already discombobulated because of running and jumping and barely breathing when I decided - why don't I go in the sauna! Only problem was I didn't have a swim suit. So I took off my shirt and pants and decided to wrap the little towel I had around my waist. A sports bra is suitable - the "gym-sluts" wear it alone all the time. I was just settled and started to sweat when I had to go to the bathroom! Arghhh. Again you would think I would be cautious when entering the john. Nope. There went my towel - YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! It was only half in so I quick pulled it out and threw it away. I was almost crying at this point. I'm sick, I'm tired, and toilet has claimed four personal items today alone!
Now I'm all sweaty and I can't take a shower because I don't have dry underwear or sportsbra, my towel is in the toilet and I really really wanted to buy some of the fresh squeezed orange juice from the hoity toity Metro Mart Pick n' Save. DAMN IT!
This is when I applied the thinking outside the box technique. Since Bally's does not supply you with towels I plotted a plan. I waited until no one was looking and pumped a bunch of paper towel. Then I quick jumped in the shower when no one else was around. I came out and took my stash of brown paper towel and discreetly dried in the corner. Then when the one lady in the corner left I put on my undies and bra and pretended I needed to wash my hands. Then I went under the drier and dried the rest of my body. Finally I made it back to my locker - so fresh and so clean and maybe a little chafed from the brown paper towel.
Made my pick n' save run and am now blogging under the influence of Nyquil. Bon Nuit! Here's to better health and less dropping into the toilet!
