A few months ago, Michael got me a new shower head. I was perfectly fine with the one that was there, as I had been using it for the last 10 years, but I welcomed the thought of a new showering experience. This all came about when Michael decided to clean my shower one day. He decided that I was in desperate need of a new shower head. I did not realize this, but sometimes it takes someone from the outside to make me realize what I need and how my daily showers have been lacking. And if he decided he was going to order me one and install it, who am I to stand in his way?
All of the shower heads in the different places I've lived have all been stationary. It's fine, it's what I'm used to. Michael wanted to get a hand held one. Cool. I've never had one before. His shower has a hand held shower head and he loves it. So, he ordered it and installed it once it came in. Pretty easy overall and I was thankful that he wanted to do it.
Now comes the tricky part. Not having really used one of these before, I had to really rethink my washing routine. I have been using the same routine for all of my adult life, so it was kind of challenging to figure out what exactly to do with this stainless steel water gun in my hand. I have always used both hands to lather up with so do I still do that? Or do I soap with one hand and spray with the other? Do I wash one part, take down the sprayer, rinse off, replace the sprayer, then repeat? There are so many possibilities when it comes to showering...who knew?
My shower is pretty compact, so there isn't a lot of elbow room in there. I have learned that trying to maneuver the sprayer is not always a successful venture. Many times I have blown my shower curtain and liner out of the shower and gotten my bathroom pretty wet. It's like watching a flag blow in the breeze and it normally takes me a few minutes to snap out of that but by then the watering of my bathroom is done. No taking that back. I also have to make sure that my hands are free of soap or otherwise, I will drop it. Then it has a life of its own. Trying to get it back into its holder, it keeps slipping and spraying in all different directions. I don't really like to get water in my face, but thanks to the sprayer I've gotten used to it LOL
I am determined to conquer this fine piece of machinery, however. Even with the few issues I have had learning to use it, I have to admit that it feels amazing. It has different settings....just like our garden hose, go figure LOL I haven't explored them all yet, but damn is it nice to have a choice. Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying using it and feel cleaner....which is nice. And to think, if I'd been better at cleaning my shower, Michael wouldn't have done it for me and I'd never experienced this aquatic wonder!
That is all
