Cold feet

No, that has nothing to do with weddings. I have been sitting at my computer for some time wrapped in a towel, having sit down here directly after my shower. Between the bare shoulders and the damp hair I am rapidly losing body heat to the chill of the room. An interesting contrast to the comforting heat of the water itself.

(After 15 minutes of trying to perfect the following sentence, I can no longer remember where it was going. I do, however, really like the imagery.)

Although I usually shower quickly, hating the thought of any unnecessarily wasted water, this time I stood for a momentary eternity, eyes closed, right hand pressed against the cream colored plastic of the shower shell, soaking in the quiet and the calm.
