Texas - Hot or maybe warm shower? NOT for this gypsy….

 Today I went with good intentions to the camp shower building to get a nice warm, or possible hot shower. Admittedly I am not one for showering on Lucy or even using her toilets for anything other then going pee. No, no worry I have been showering since we got on the road but it has always been at Niki’s house.

So off I went, with a bag of fresh clothing and my toiletries. My husband had already showered here at the camp so he told me to start up the water right from the time of me getting there as it would take a bit to get warm water. This i did, and I waited and waited and waited but no warm water appeared. Then my ‘logical’ thinking kicked in and I wondered if the shower next door might magically have all the warm water so I wrapped myself in the one towel I had and jumped with all my belongings into the next stall. Of to waiting again and again no warm water in sight. So on to my next thought that maybe being on a military campground they think we need to toughen up and I should be taking a cold shower? After all I also read plenty of books on people who do take cold showers on a daily basis as in ‘The Iceman’. So I held my breath, hoped my heart would not give out and went and stepped in that very cold water. Right when my hair was getting wet I heard a voice from outside asking ‘do you have warm water?’ I peeked out from the curtain, chattering my teeth and seeing it was a woman in the toilet across the room who was talking to me. I replied ‘no warm water here’. She responded ‘you should go to the gym building, they have warm water” to which I responded ‘well I am kind of wet now”. Her question came quick as in ‘do you need a hairdryer to warm up with?’. I thought very considered but at this point I just wanted to catch my breath,  get dry and dressed and rush back to Lucy. So I guess not everyone on base takes cold shower just crazy me 😂

We were also getting braver and even pulled out our outside chairs today and we are carefully entering the outside world in front of Lucy. We have seen other campers doing this but admittedly one does not easily shed their introvert selfs and steps out if their comfort zone but it is very nice.

So I am clean and getting some Sun. It’s a good day after all ♥️
