Will the real Eileen please stand up?

Ok, I’ve restrained myself long enough. I don’t know who is reading this but its time I came clean.I’m not a trailer evangelist.(Bill would say I’m a princess) 

So a while back I tried to have my first shower in the trailer. I don’t actually fit in our shower unless I stand with my head in the fan recess. You try washing your hair that way. But I watch Bill have a shower and come out smiling so I'm game to try. To have a trailer shower you first have to empty the tub of all you’ve put in there for safe-keeping while travelling - garbage can, first aid kit, broom… So, all cleared, water on, I carefully step in and am ambushed by a blast of cold water! Bill’s shower had emptied the hot water tank. So, I pull on clothes, grab all necessities and walk, hair dripping, across the dusty lot to the camp showers. Ready to get in, I reach to turn on shower only to find no on/off, just a temperature control. You guessed it - coin operated. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Clothes back on, back across dusty parking lot, hair now steaming rather than dripping, pick up loonies, back across parking lot to try again. 

The woman putting up the “washroom closed for cleaning” sign didn’t miss a beat when she saw the look on my face as I approached. She just quickly removed the sign and left the area.
