so yesterday, we completed a good portion of our Christmas shopping. During that same time, we also bought a new shower stand for our tub since the one we had previously was cheap and therefore rusted very fast. Hopefully this one will not corrode so easily.
funny thing though. as I was putting together the stand, I felt very, very, stressed. it was strange. I couldn't figure out what brought on this anxiety, but looking back I think it was some kind of post-traumatic stress triggered by the assembling of the shower stand (something akin to the west wing episode where josh heard the brass quartet in the lobby of the west wing and it triggered an anxiety attack attributed by the fact that he got shot - if you know what I mean, you know what I mean, if not - tough cookies)
in any case, I've been trying to analyze why something like that would make me stressed out? Fortunately for me, last night I had the sensory therapy for peace of mind breather and three vodka tonics on the plane... [free alcohol is nice, but it could be better - but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth - as those who remember the all you can karaoke/drink in NYC a few years ago can attest - or rather, the next morning]
in any case, I have never been shot - paintballs and plastic bb's excluded. I don't seem to recall any situation which assembling a shower stand or the like caused me great trauma. yeah. drawing a blank.
whatever - I'm sure it'll suss itself out some day... there'll be a parade... 76 bloody trombones... long about a saturday night...
in the end, I hope the new stand doesn't rust... but I'll just continue to ignore the fact that it might rust... you know.. thinking everything is alright. Read more.
