Rituals of the Bath

I'm generally a shower-girl. It's just so much faster than having to draw up a whole tub of water. Today however, I really wanted to procrastinate preparing for my timed English essay tomorrow so... I took a bath. And actually, I've decided it's a rather glorious thing! Ever since the time of the Greeks and Romans, bathing has been a ritual part of life. (For a full history go here.) There's something extremely calming about immersing yourself entirely in hot water and basking in the warmth until your fingers get all pruny. Now mind, I realize it isn't at all practical for regularity but, as a rare indulgence, it suits just fine. (excluding you, Grandmama) So saying, I now charge you all to take a bath (a real one, not the over used term for any type of bathing) at the next chance you get. I care not whether you think you're "too tall and won't fit", try it.
