Wax on. Wax off.

I do not like thunderstorms and am in fact, frightened by lightening. The experiences of quick flashes of light that occur when you least expect it makes me jump out of my seat and nearly wet myself each time. We had a terrible storm recently that dropped big, fat raindrops and the sky would light up every minute and it scared me.

After a long very stressful day at work with my nerves already frazzled and a thunderstorm that topped off my stress, I looked forward to a long, hot bath. I knew I had plenty of hot water to fill my jetted tub up to the rim because no one in the house had showered yet. Plenty of hot water. Nice relaxing bath. Quiet peaceful alone time. Ahhhh.

Then IT happened. No electricity in the neighborhood. No lights, no television, no Internet, WAIT, oh shit. NO HOT WATER??? I knew if I hurried I could gather an armful of candles, run up to the tub and fill it before the water heater turned cool. Problem solved and I can enjoy my bath even more with the soft light of the candles.

After doing my normal bathing routine I laid back and let my body slip down into the steamy hot water. I was experiencing a moment of peace for once today. Just what I needed. Ahhhhh. As I reached over to pick up my full glass of wine, my arm brushed against the tallest candle and down it tumbled right smack in between my legs. Without going into all the gory details, let me sum it up this way…

I can now move to Brazil and feel right at home. Just lovely.
