Short and Silly

I have no bathroom door. It sounds strange but the way the house is laid out the master bedroom goes right into the bathroom. The shower doors and walls are clear glass. Locking the bedroom door is a must for anyone who wants to shower in privacy.

Today I forgot to put the dog outside while I showered. I didn’t think much of it until he planted himself on the bathroom rug and stared at me. It was unnerving. I started wondering what he was thinking. Perhaps he was trying to figure out what I was doing. I certainly wondered what he was doing.

He got up suddenly and disappeared, hackles raised. That actually did freak me out-- I was alone in the house and no one was expected back for hours. The doors were locked but still... I was in the shower. If someone decided to break in I think I would be more embarrassed than anything else.

That's one of my fears- ridiculous though it seems. Having someone break in when I’m showering, or maybe the house catching on fire while showering. Something that involves me ending up naked in public. I like my privacy. I don't get how strippers do it.

And I think now I’m going to need therapy from all the dog-staring. Or maybe the dog will need therapy, I don’t know. Either way, we now have a very awkward relationship. He hangs his head when he passes me in the hall and I can’t quite meet his eyes.
