Changing the Shower Curtain Liner

There aren't too many household chores that I mind doing.

I really enjoy keeping my apartment clean, organized and maintained.

HOWEVER…there is one thing that totally annoys the living SHIT out of me, every time I have to do it.

And that’s changing the shower curtain liner.

I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!

I’ve even considered paying one of the maintenance men in my building $500.00 just to do it.

And to be honest, right now it desperately needs to be done, because three of the hook holes are torn, and the lower half of the liner is beginning to show GROSS signs of shower curtain mold, mildew, and amoebas.

I purchased a new liner like three weeks ago, but it’s sitting in the bathroom completely wrapped, just waiting to be hung.

But I keep procrastinating the NASTY deed.

There’s something so completely agonizing in having to hold my arms up for what feels like 60 MINUTES, while I detach and then reattach the liner. I can’t stand having to unsnapped those 12 DAMN hooks; take the old curtain off; put the new one on, and then re-snap them!

I end up getting totally light-headed, like I’m going to FAINT, and my arms always feel like they’re going to break off at the shoulder sockets.

And my favorite part, is trying to balance myself on the edge of the bathtub with my feet, which inevitably slip; causing me to grab the shower curtain and then pull the rod off the walls.

I finally figured a clever way of placing a small step-stool inside the tub, which gives me enough height to reach the shower curtain rod, so I don’t end up breaking my neck.

But I STILL hate doing it!

Ok…now that I’ve VENTED about it, I think I better get the deed over with, and just do it.

(I mean it’s Saturday night…I need to wash my hair)

Wish me luck.

ooooh...and if you should suddenly hear a PRIMAL SCREAM coming from the Philadelphia area, please know that it’s just me...

...doing the NASTY!
