The most satisfying bath of my life
Yes, indeed. After nearly twelve weeks... I have taken my first bath at my new apartment. Everything is finally in place: my bedroom is set up, all the utilities are working, and I'm patiently sitting here awaiting my Peapod grocery delivery.
Life is good.
The water ran dirty at first - last night, after the landlord repaired the pipes, I had to run the hot water for an hour to get all this sediment and crap out of the hot water tank. This morning it streamed clear and hot from the tap; I filled the tub two thirds of the way and poured in my lavender bath salts. It was way too hot... just the way I like it.
I took about an hour, most of the time just soaking in all that heat and absorbing the salts and oils. I was able to submerge most of myself at once, either bracing my legs against the front or sitting up slightly against the back.
Now that the water is finally all set, I can really clean the bathroom. I'm going to have to pick up a little carpeting set or something since some of the tiles on the floor are coming up... but I'll have the bathroom cleaned up and finished in another day or two. After that comes setting up and cleaning the pantry... then the kitchen... and then, finally, the living room and dining room. It's slow work, but it's been so amazingly rewarding revitalizing this place.
I love it here. I hope I'll get to stay here for a while.
