A 'Nice' Shower, at last...

Dear Everyone,

I have just Finished a Lovely Shower, the first in some days, and I feel- even though this is rather cliched, 'Much Better'. I have a Brand New, got Just Before this virus 'hit', Spa Shower Head... Which IS Wonderful. So why haven't I showered for days, despite the Clearly Increasing Stink? Actually I don't know- next, you will be asking me 'Why Haven't I Shaved Either, Despite Hating Beards'- I don't know THAT either....

Still, Beautifully Clean NOW- now all I have, to do, is persuade one of our Staff to get me a Newspaper from the shop... I dare NOT go out! (After I put my Stinky, Smelly Sheets, on to Wash, that is!)

A NOW Clean

yeah for ages i have had an issue with self identity like this i only wanted to wear old clothes and yeah i avoided the shower an would also not bother shaving or wearing underwear the lower i was the more things like this i wouldnt do

it all grew out of loosing my self identity after the end of my job when i was "downsized" 12 years ago and realised there wasnt really any job i could move onto as the job i had been doing was such a dead end job. for a long time i was also resigned to not ever being in a long term relationship with a woman. then last july at i met someone. i had already started to and learnt that shaving and making my bed made me feel better about myself in the morning which is always when i feel low. then last july i met the woman of my life who consistently badgers me to wear nice clothes wash them and myself and buys me things.... y i dont know i keep on saying i dont deserve her.....and now with covid19 she wants to self isolate herself from me,amd says shes getting tired.....is it what i cost her? or is it the outings we are not aloud to do? this is what the combination of brain injury and my drugs do make me self analytical but yes a shower is gr8 therapy for the parts of the brain easily reached but as i said i rarely have s shower and like cooked breakfasts only whrn i am away.....
