You wouldn't normally think of it, but showers are quite demanding physically. I didn't think about this at all before I got sick, but I learned it very quickly. You do move a lot in all sorts of positions and scrub energetically even if you're standing still.

Tonight I threw up in the shower out of nowhere. Some people say TMI (not here thankfully lol) but it's just my reality.

Why did it happen? Beats me. Your guess is as good as mine. I know now not to take too long when showering otherwise my body starts telling me to hurry it up, but that time it just happened out of nowhere. Was it because I had an eventful week where I didn't pace myself, and my debt was catching up to me? Who knows! This thing doesn't come with a manual, even though some doctors seem to think so.

I used to brush my teeth + mouthwash + wash my hair + shower all at once (seriously brushing your teeth in the shower >>>>>), and now I have to think carefully about adding an extra chore at all. It's either I shower or I brush my teeth in one day, not both, even if I do them separately. I've also learned to not move around as fast, in the shower and in general. I walk slower, I scrub slower, basically I learn to take my time. It's a process.

Well, none of that prevented me from puking tonight but all things considered it has been a while since the last time so that must mean I manage pretty well the rest of the time. Now I'm pooped lol, I don't know if I'm the only one but damn throwing up is taxing.

With winter coming I think I might switch to taking baths. Might need to look the IP rating on my e-reader lol.
