A Mythical Morning

I took a bath this morning. It was a lovely bath. I put me some comfrey in it. I am a leprous human being (not for real, but for real), and comfrey is good for drawing out infection. So I decided to add comfrey to my bathing experience. Upon getting into my leafy tub, I left this world and became an minor ancient Greek goddess. I became a nymph. It's quite hard to not feel nymph like when you're covered in little green leafy things as you bathe about. Also, my grandmother has quite the fanciful tub. So that helped. In any event, this meant that my life had changed from working as a gopher in an office, coaching gymnastics, and going on dates to running away from amorous satyrs, frolicking about in the woods, eating delicious fruits, and following gods about. I decided that following the gods wasn't my style. If they really want you they'll find you. Avoiding amorous satyrs sounded good, and so did eating (especially fruit). Also frolicking, which I believe involves dancing, and I am quite fond that. Therefore, if you need me I would look in the woods, in the produce section of the grocery store, or in the bath (but that's inappropriate, so maybe just knock on the bathroom door).

Then I got out of the tub and drained it. Then I told my friend that if she went in the bathroom and found little green things all over the tub, I didn't know anything about it.
