The dark shower

On Thursday morning, while I was taking my clothes off, the light in the shower room flickered and died. I carried on, opening the door and looking where my soap and shampoo were and dialing a nice temperature for the water. I had no problem showering in the dark. I posted a work-order and it will take a while for it to be fix. Sadly the bulb is not accessible and it is one of those long tubes that nobody knows where to buy, so we cannot fix it on our own.

My other house mates are annoyed, of course. All of them are showering with the door open. Maybe I am to shy, but I have been showering with the door close. Basically I located the soap and shampoo and just make slow movements. Everything works fine. The weird thing is that I have found myself showering with my eyes closed! Somehow it just feels more natural. I guess I have a mental picture of the room, so I have an idea where things are an feel confident about it. I wont say that I have achieved enlightenment or something like that, but it feels different. I guess I'm the only one not looking forward for a new light bulb in the shower room.
