You do?? Where is this at? Is it readable somewhere?

:-)

Okay, okay... my roomie will never know I put this out here...

There's two parts to this and my knowledge of them happened out of order or else it never would have happened.

Part 1: The Shower

I stayed the weekend at my parents house and arrived back at my apartment early Monday morning. I needed to take my shower and get ready for work. So I followed my normal routine and just as I put my left foot into the tub, it flew out from under me. This resulted in my right leg banging the ledge of the tub at knee level (bruise resulted) and my right foot banging the trash can and my body heading downward. Luckily, there was a towel bar on the wall and I grabbed it and the towel bar saved me from a complete fall. (this, I think, led to another incident I excerpted below) At this point, my knee hurt and I gingerly stepped in the shower to start it. The floor was very slick and I was overly cautious the entire time.

Part 2: The Reason

Later that day, I mentioned my almost fall in the bathroom and asked my roomie if he put anything in the shower over the weekend. He likes to clean while I'm gone because I'm allergic to a lot of the cleaners... He got a very embarrassed look on his face. Then the truth came out. Apparently, he had a tube of lube in his bedroom trash can that still had some in it that spilled out in the trash can. He took the trash can to the bathtub to rinse it out and the lube was transferred from the trash can to the bathtub floor. He evidently didn't use the shower after doing this. Then I come in completely oblivious...

:-)

Oh, the "grabbing of the towel bar" could have been a precursor to the what I call the Towel Bar Incident as described below from a previous locked post:

So, when you are falling down in the bathtub while taking a shower, your natural response is to what? If you said, "Grab for the built in towel bar in the shower that will keep you from falling," you would be correct. However, what you didn't know was that the built in (ceramic) towel bar would pick that exact moment to break. Somehow, you didn't fall, but you find yourself standing in the shower with a chunk of towel bar in your hand, other pieces lying around, and a few tiny pieces on the bathtub floor.

Then you realize your right hand hurts. So you sit the piece in your hand down and look at your hand and see a few small cuts right in the middle of your palm. Well, not too bad as damage goes, could have been worse. Then you notice lots of red running down with the water on the front of your chest. Well crap. You see the great big gash on top of your right breast. You don't know what piece hit it, but it sure is bleeding. You stand in the shower trying to stop the bleeding and continuously rinsing blood off when you see a big stream of red going down your leg. Well crap again. Somehow the tiniest little cut on your left knee is creating a gusher. Minutes later, the blood loss is mostly under control, so it's safe to stop the water and get dried off before going in hunt of bandaids and antiseptic ointment. Then you ponder how exactly one chunk of the towel bar ended up outside of the shower and on the other side of the toilet. You still haven't solved this mystery.

Thankfully, your male roomie (even if he is gay) is not at home, so you can move around without a shirt until you can get the bleeding stopped, the bandaid and ointment and finally put a shirt on with no chance for blood stains.

Then you're left with figuring out what to tell the roomie when he comes home and wondering what the apartment complex will say.

Life is so much fun at times...

You're welcome! :-)

Still at work... wondering if I'll have internet when I get home...

But... oh to be that bar of soap. Or its sibling the next stall over with Tony or McGee... oh the lucky bars of soap.

Yay!
