The perils of living alone

 One might think that the scariest part of living alone is not having someone there in case of a fall, a heart attack, or some other medical emergency.  Who would help you if you fall and can't get up?

But, that is nothing compared to the emergency of being in the shower and realizing that the only body wash that you can use (Olay moisture ribbons, the purple kind, not the pink that you bought once when you couldn't find the purple in the store and found out that it is not the same body wash in a different color, but an inferior product) is missing.  You recently ordered a refill supply of the purple bottles off of Amazon because it is difficult to find in the store and your package of five bottles is sitting by the front door of your apartment where you dropped it as you came in with a load of mail, groceries, and packages, thinking you would open it later and put one bottle in the shower and the other four in the closet (where you were sure you already had a spare bottle, but did not).  So, you turn off the water, wrap yourself in a towel, gingerly (so you don't fall!) step out and make your way across the bathroom, through the bedroom, and down the hall to retrieve the package.  Once you are back in the bathroom you realize that the package is impenetrable and you need to take it back through the bedroom, down the hall and into the kitchen where you can slice it open with a pair of scissors (note to self, put pair of scissors in the bathroom). Now, back in the shower, you restart the water, finish your shower, and hope that Olay never discontinues the purple moisture ribbons like Pantene discontinued their Silver Expressions purple shampoo 

BUT....It's back...sort of...from Pantene website:

We've heard you, and we are bringing Pantene's Silver Expressions Purple Shampoo back!

Still on Amazon this note :  Temporarily out of stock.

Wow. That's intense. Maybe your precious body wash will be easier to find in NWI stores?
