when someone asks about what time period you'd like to live in in the past i say "i would not"

i'm thankful for daily hot showers, which are one of many reasons when someone asks about what time period you'd like to live in in the past i say "i would not" (see also: all the many many other ways the past was trash!). i miss having a bathtub but, honestly, baths, while i love them, require more commitment and focus and time blocking (kind of like maintaining a meditation schedule lol), baths are a practice, whereas a shower is a convenience, it's always there when you need it and can be accomplished as quickly or as slowly as you'd like (and your water heater will allow; i'm thankful this house has a good water heater). i'm thankful for loofahs and sponges, which i will always prefer over washcloths, and i'm thankful to have a waterproof phone, which makes shower podcasts or shower karaoke possible (and frequent). i'm thankful, as of yesterday, for these shower steamer things d got me for christmas, which are supposed to be like shower bath bombs; the first one i tried was kind of underwhelming (i think partially because i didn't place it right under me where the bulk of the water was falling, but also it might have been a dud somehow) but i used the lavender one yesterday and filled the room and part of the house with the scent, clearing my sinuses and coloring the space.
