A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Midday after working outside and getting really dirty or sweaty, when it's still bright enough outside that you don't have to turn the lights on and the bathroom is only lit from the window, you're already so hot from working that the water has to start out lukewarm, and also you have a shower beer. My favorite kind.
Damn. You've really elegantly explained one of my favourite things. It's winter where I am, so I'm doing the 'more than one during the day just to warm up, temperature equal to surface of the sun' showers. Can't wait for the midday beer shower. So many months away.
And when you first get in, the water is noticeably warmer by the time it hits your feet because you're so warm. When your feet start getting the cool water, then and only then are you done.
